Hi....Can anybody enlighten me on the latest requirements in getting a stat dec from the Oz embassey for proof of income, as in proving you have this income as all my paper work is in Oz.

Also has anybody recently used a stat dec in Jomtien when renewing extention of stay.

Cheers

There have been recent reports that they are not asking for it.

Thanks Ubonjoe, that was quick. I did read a conflicting report somewhere although these seem to be in the minority.

hopefully some one will have something on Jomtien.

thanks again.

Went to Oz embassy yesterday for  stat dec. no prob at all. In and out 15 mins.

Which embassy? I usually go to the consulate in St Kilda Rd, Melbourne.

Which Consulate - Thai?

You need the stat dec from the Australian Embassy in Bangkok - there aren't any Australian Embassy/Consulates in Australia.

Confirming it was indeed Bangkok.

Were you required to provide any proof of income to the Embassy official?

No nothing at all.

Did you make an appointment.

Can't find any information on their website.

No appointment required.

getting through security at the front gate is fun(ha ha) then proceed inside to the counter and take a number.

i had a stat dec form already filled out,unsigned, which helped but that only saves five minutes.

What was the fee? And did you list income on the stat dec in baht or in oz dollars. 
 
Does it matter?

The income needs to be in oz dollars. Immigration will convert it to baht on the date you apply for the extension.

Info about notarial services is here on embassy website. http://thailand.embassy.gov.au/bkok/Notarial_Services.html

The fee is $70. If paying in baht it will depend upon the rate the embassy is using when you do it.

I did it in Aus dollars. Don't think it would matter but not 100% on that.

They don't miss you at 1830 baht.

 

interesting to note that the Australian Consulate in Phuket only notarise Stat Decs on a Tuesday, by appointment, and proof of funds is required.

 

If you are signing a Statutory Declaration in support of a retirement or other visa, you must provide proof of income such as a bank, superannuation fund or Centrelink statement.

I think you will find that info is wrong if you contact them. The embassy had it on their website for a period of time and removed it after they changed their minds about  needing the proof.

That's sounds about par for the course 

 

Just in case anyone wants a copy of the Australian Embassy Stat Dec form.

It can be completed before arrival but must be signed in front of the Australian Embassy official.
