Has anyone ever renewed their yearly extension using the monthly income method and was not required to get an income letter or income affidavit from their Embassy? If so, please share what documents were accepted by TI, at which office your extension was renewed and the year it was renewed. Thank you…
Great Question! I’d love to hear the “official” answer directly from Thai Immigrations.
My Retirement Visa is due to be renewed in mid-December. I am going to the US Embassy to get my letter the first week in December, but that will be the last one I’ll be able to get.
I just went down to my local (Phetchabun) Immigration Office to do my 90-day. I discussed the situation with them and they told me if I got the letter from the US Embassy, they could use that to renew my visa in December this year. HOWEVER, when I asked the officer what I could provide next year for proof of monthly income and suggested a bank book or statement from the bank, he said “No.” He said that thenI would have to show I’ve had THB 800K in a Thai bank for 3 months prior to the extension date. I then showed him that the requirementssay EITHER THB 800K ORproof of income in excess of THB 650000 a month. I asked him again, what proof would he accept to satisfy the THB 650000-per-month requirement, and he said “a letter from your embassy.”
So, either the news of what other than the letter from the embassy would be accepted as proof of a monthly income has not yet made it to Phetchabun, or it hasn’t been formulatedyet and perhaps never will be.
I have until mid-Sep of next year to either discover what, if any, new rules there are for proof of income, or put THB 800K in the bank. In my case, I can always change to a Marriage Visa which would only require THB 400K, but I’m still hoping for some resolution to what would be acceptable for a proof of income to come fromBangkok Thai Immigration.
Please, everyone, keep us all informed if you learn anything OFFICIAL concerning this issue.
Thank You…
