U.S. Mission in Thailand to Cease Providing Income Affidavit
« on: October 26, 2018, 11:38:55 AM »

Just got this email. Who knows, maybe it'll be a good thing. Gonna start looking into it right now.

U.S. Mission in Thailand to Cease Providing Income Affidavit
October 26, 2018
Bangkok, THAILAND

As of January 1, 2019, the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok and the U.S. Consulate General in Chiang Mai will cease to provide the income affidavit for the purpose of applying for Thai retirement and family visas and will not notarize previous versions of the income affidavit.  The Royal Thai Government requires actual verification of income to certify visa applicants meet financial requirements for long-stay visas.  The U.S. government cannot provide this verification and will no longer issue the affidavits.

Please consult the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington, D.C. and Royal Thai Immigration Bureau websites for information on how to meet the requirements for a Thai retirement visa or extension.

Well that sucks.  I guess get them while you can, they are good for 6 months. 




But from the website:
https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/notaries-public/


Kind of looks like the income acknowledgement will be at the main Embassy until further notice.

Yep got my letter yesterday. If I get an affidavit end of December I?m hoping they still accept them end of May. Who knows!
