Option 1. Working in Thailand: You must provide your work permit, and taxation records, updated bank book and guarantee letter signed by your bank manager with both showing the same balance.

Option 2. Working outside Thailand: Income from outside Thailand: You must provide evidence of income. You may also be asked to provide a letter from your employer, or other documents to support the proof of income. (ie. bank statements).

In the case of a foreign woman with a Thai husband the income requirement does not apply so no bank letter, bank book or guarantee letter is needed, but the husband must produce proof of payment of personal income tax in addition to the other documents. Additionally, as the husband is requesting his wife be allowed to stay with him in Thailand a personal interview is conducted by the Immigration officer and he fills out a separate form.
