UK Gov - How to obtain a pension/income letter for Thai Immigration ( Update )
I an guessing your a Brit mick, my condolences, I am a kiwi the embassy posted me out the financial and a embassy letter FREE including courier cost, which immigration accepted without question, you poor fluckers get up the ass both ways, terrible country and embassy.
Eliminate the embassy involvement altogether. Salt away 800k baht into a Thai bank fixed account (4%) and Bob's your uncle. No need for the embassy nut-smash run-around.
Eighteen months ago Krung Thai Bank (KTB) had a 19 mo 4% fixed-rate promotion. But it was graduated -- 2.5% for 6 mo, 3.5% for the next 6 mo, 4.5% for 6 mo and something like 10% for the last month. Mine matures in May and I'm wondering what the rates are currently.
I get 3.5 % ON 1 YEAR on 1 yr TD but it is in NZ, sure there is the exchange rate risk but I would rather risk having my funds in a safe currency than to leave the currency in THB particular with the event that will happen this year.
You know what I mean.
