Letter confirming pension/income from the British Embassy

[richard]

I intend obtaining this by post and wondered if anyone had done this recently either by post or by attending the British Embassy. I've tried emailing but as yet no reply

Two things

1) how many pages of your passport do they want?
2) are the fees as posted on their website or have they increased?

Cheers

Sarge, you seem to be the font of all knowledge in Thailand.

i did mine 3 months ago no problems same same for the last 6 years

but as i am king of nothing and know nothing i have left the forum as the man who knows everything quoted above labelled me the font of all knowledge ( i left the forum as a direct result of the above malicious quote and the lack of moderater input ) i am surprised no i am stunned at what you are asking it was very detailed in a previous thread

by the way is that pension with or without winter fuel allowance

Sarge, before you go, could you drop me a PM with directions to that bakery shop in Pranburi?

Sorry, back to topic.

Thanks Sarge for your civil renderings

Wrong side of the bed syndrome?

And the answer to my questions?

Richard I will be visiting the Embassy myself next month. Looks straight forward. I will be making 2 copies of my passport,
forces pension statement and I think its about 2500B ? Nana Plaza in the evening!

I remember Mr Plum saying that he does the postal option and it works well.

I did it last week and from posting to returning to HH was 6 days.

I sent ;-
A postal order for Bht2,350 which includes the return EMS post from Bangkok ( the postal order payable to British Embassy, and to be cashed at Nana Post Office Bangkok 10112 )
Evidence (original ) of my private pension for 2012 amount. Ask them to return this.
A copy of my State pension letter.
A copy of my bank statement for last 6 months evidencing some pension payment receipts.

I gave an explanation of how my pensions were paid and the total calculated, just to make it simple for them, you may not need to do this.
A copy of the photo page of my passport

That's it

DM i am shocked that a member should be asking me for advice i think the OP who knows infinitely more about where i live than i do should be able to give you directions to the milimetre

However as a good guy i will give you my uneducated peasant directions to the place you ask although you will have to accept my disclaimer that should you get lost in the jungle its not my fault and no legal action can be accepted after all the GURU of all things THAI (except how to get a letter for his visa ) is obviously the man to answer your query

Petchakasem road to PRANBURI MARKET pass the Army Camp traffic lights then 200/300yards before the centre of PRANBURI MARKET on the left

If you are at a loose end travel to PRANBURI CITY railway station and ask at the noodle stall for the Farangs residences WE that is the TWO farangs living here are about 200/250 yards away have a chat a beer or yorkshire gold medal TEA
