A notorized signed document or sworn statement is simply a legally authorized person or agency verifying that the actual party involved appeared with required document, then swore, and signed it personally. The U.S. embassy does exactly that for it's citizens yearly Thai visa requirement- for around $30. They don't have the time or inclination to investigate the guy's finances. The U.S. has another agency for that- the I.R.S. By the way, the embassy outreach will be in Khon Kaen on May 1st., God bless 'em.

Do you know where they will be in Khon Kean?

U.S. Embassy outreach staff will be at the Raja Orchid Hotel- 9/9 Prachasumran Rd. Khon Kaen, May 1, 8-11 am.

Thanks

Not recent, but in Oct I used one that was 18mos old, mai pen rai

Next month I shall be renewing my retirement visa. I am using an income verification issued by the embassy three years ago. My telephone enquiry was answered with.Providing the sum at the current rate of exchange is still at least 800k, no problem.My wife however is more doubtful and has transferred her money into my account ,in case.Will let you know.

Cool. Thanks, papaguido. Not too crazy about driving to KK and back just to get the piece of paper altho a trip to BKK isn't bad.

Will be doing mine in three months so will be looking for your answer, trubrit.

When I renewed my extension in March this year the officer at Nong Khai made a point of telling me they were keeping the original income statement from the Australian embassy.
