Retirement visa extension income confirmation

[notrub]

I got a letter from the UK embassy confirming my income using a tax return and bank statement.  At the immigration in Buriram they wanted to see money going in monthly and being spent not just a letter   So I transferred 70 k baht per month for the 3 months before my visa was due for renewal and it worked just fine.  Next time I will take a printout of that day's currency exchange to make it a tiny bit easier.   They are pretty friendly and helpful at the new immigration office and honest too. Thanks very much again to Ubonjoe for the information about UK income verification letter.  That was super easy too (I nearly fell off my chair as it was such a surprise and so atypical of the usual services rendered by them)..  What a relief to get that over with.

I think that thai immigration mixes up somewhat british people with american people, and treat you as being the very same when it comes to existing, or should I say non-existing verifiction of income....

 

Sorry to hear about your problems, for the rest of us, no problem no need to verify anything more than showing the in come-letter from our embassy

Immigration offices that want back up proof for income documents based upon what country a person is from. When they want it they ask for it from everybody.

What is needed for back up proof varies. Buriram and one or two others are the odd ones asking to show all the money coming into a bank account.
