Popular Post Mann33bkk Posted January 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2019 Went to Chaeng Wattana today for my extention based on marriage. Wanted to try the 40 000 transfered from abroad method. But immigration told me it could not be used as source of income, as my embassy still give guarantee of my pension. I really not understand why they refuse to let me use that method to show my income. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 At this time that may be up to the discretion of the immigration officer in charge. Did you have a full year of international transfers to show? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post luckyluke Posted January 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Would that mean that the monthly transfers of 40/65000 system is only accessible for the 4 countries which can not obtain a L. o. I. anymore? Or the interpretation of 1 officer? Edited January 30, 2019 by luckyluke 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to the rules. But if a person did not a full year of transfers I can see immigration telling people to get income proof from their embassy. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did complain on the spot, and was advised to boss in the L section. She spoke a lot about I could not use this type of income. Only letter from embassy or 400 000 in the account for 2 months prior to extention Edited January 30, 2019 by Mann33bkk 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The word was that the Austrian Consulate in Pattaya would lose a lot of money if the expats of Austria, Belgium, Holland, Germany won't need a L. o. I. anymore (+/- 1600 Thb), but a letter of the bank with bankbook would be sufficient. Not so far apparently. Wait & See. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrJack54 Posted January 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2019 Makes perfect sense to me. The 4 embassies that stopped "letters" Thai imm have been very helpful in accepting bank statements etc to show their 40/65. For other countries business as usual. More work for io to check bank statements. Letter from embassy.. PERFECT. Why would anyone think that because 4 cannot use LETTER then all other nationals can just use statements 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why easy for Thai to just put line through income method. They say they will be flexible but already different results at different local. No offense towards the io,s but seriously they are clerks with need for narrow boundaries. Would anyone seriously be surprised if io,s here and there find it all too hard and make income method difficult for extensions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt 35 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) At the beginning when this new requirements/opportunities for what income prove Immigration accept and theories that all embassies would follow prompt those who now do not give out confirmation of income anymore a TV member had a theory in the line of that this new regulation could be a coordination between foreign embassies and the imigrations in Thailand for the possibility to get better control over who and what each individual use as income prove and why and also easier on both sides to prevent money laundering and to control illegal entries... I don't know but wonder if there are some truth in that TV members theory.....???? Edited January 30, 2019 by Felt 35 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post keithet Posted January 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2019 I hope imagration finds this new monthly income proces difficult. And see how easy it was to look at 1 piece of paper from embassy. Be nice if by the first quarter the embassies start the letters again. I for one would be happy to show proof of the income stated in the letter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all he is the Boss and they are his underlings, they should be told to read the police order and it's amendments and proceed accordingly. As for Jomtien Immigration they will only accept 800,000 in the bank for Aussies, so go figure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the rules, regulations and amendments or whatever certainly do not state as such and it appears this office is simply requiring it as an incorrect interpretation, or to make their job easier.

Ahab Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 My backup plan is to get another multiple entry non-immigrant O visa and start saving the 400,000 baht for an extension based on marriage (currently on an extension based on retirement). Hopefully Buriram immigration will accept the income coming into my Bangkok Bank account each and every month (with an FTT code). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
