Statutory Declaration from Australian Embassy for Pension each month

[czhteck]

Hello,

This will be for Australians that are using there Income for staying in Thailand.

How do you apply to Embassy and what documents do you show them of your income and get a Statutory Declaration?

Do you have a sample form you use to show Embassy of your income for immigration.

Thanking you all

Ray

Ubon will advise you best. My friend is doing exactly that. I was also but have elected for O-A , obtained in AU.

I asked such embassy about this. THEY do not require proof as it is in their view a stat dec and that's means you are liable to it. HOWEVER as I understand it , you will need to take some "proof" for extensions and initial non imm O. Just take all your income stream proof such as pension or rentals or whatever. Imagine more the better.

I just got a copy online(you need a computer account with centrelink), you log into your info page then download the available pension payment info and print it out. You take it to the embassy and get them to authorize it, you also write a stat dec declaring what you are paid and get them to authorize that as well. I lined it up with the Australian staff but she wasnt there when I went and the thai staff refused to authorize the pension one because it was a print out. Went ballistic as I had paid to fly there on the embassies say so just to get it and told the thai woman what I thought of her. When I got back home I sent a pretty pi**ed of email to the aussie embassy telling them I wasnt impressed with what happened as I had travelled there on their say so, they apologized for the incompetence of the staff and got me to send the copies to them and they authorized them for me and told me to make sure that next time find out which days they are there. Also had to get my aussie bank statement showing the money going into the account and my thai bankbook showing the transfer arriving here. I had to get the stat dec and pension forms translated into to thai as well.

Hello, you didn't research enough. Also most xpats here are not relying on centerlink "connections" ...dare say majority are self funded retirees. UK different.
