Perhaps it’s me, again, looking at information from the wrong direction, but I’d welcome clarification.
The below is extracted from the Thai Immigration HQ website. Not that I need to use option 5 at present( although think I used it in my early days here, when Immigration was at the airport), but I’ve always viewed it as a sort of combination of options 3 and 4. My questions are:-
Does option 5 mean the applicant must have an 800,000 baht bank BALANCE at the time of application?
Should option 5 really read ‘EVIDENCE OF” annual income ……….?
An example might be of an applicant who always maintains a 500,000 baht bank balance. He would then have to prove he had an additional 300,000 baht annual income.
That leads to another question. Could the annual income be a ‘one-off’ credit to the bank OR like the criteria for option 3, would Immigration insist upon monthly credits? And don’t dare be a day late with a credit transfer, if it was a bank holiday!!!
