  1. It's not semantics at all.
  2. "and at the interest rate determined by the bank on the new deposit date" I was informed the rate would defer to the rate of a Savings account, unless I rolled it over to a new term on the maturity date.
  3. I was asked the same question some years ago. Since then, I've had the bank detail both my FTD and Savings accounts on the letter for Immigration, but only supply an updated passbook and statement for the FTD account. It merely saves them for inquiring again.
  4. When I first visited the local government hospital, they requested my passport, but then issued me a medical card with a personalised number. Since then, that is the only form of ID I have required to obtain any services.
  5. Those who keep the 400/800 in the account throughout the year remain unaffected, unless it's a new account opened within the last 4 months.
  6. If I may explain something about Bangkok bank, Jack. Branches can only produce a 6 month statement, no different from what you can view yourself online. They have to order a 12 month statement from the Head office, which can take up to 5 days to receive, however if you request the statement from the Head Office itself which is on Silom Road, then they can produce the 12 month statement on the spot, as @mitebbots explained. Regarding updating passbooks, some banks can only update to the last transaction, hence you need to make a deposit or withdrawal to update to the current date, whereas Bangkok Bank can update to the current date without a deposit or withdrawal. It merely states the balance as of that day. If updating through the ATMs, it will tend to consolidate transactions as it cannot automatically turn the pages of the book, using whatever space is left on the page. However, if you go in branch they can update with every transaction since your last update as they can manually turn the pages. I rarely update my Savings account passbook, (which I don't use for Immigration purposes) but when I do, they have printed every transaction for the past 5 months on 3/4 separate pages of the book. Each bank has its positives and negatives.
  7. I'm not insulted at all, but we are talking at crossed purposes. My original reply to OJAS was in relation to his question regarding the below topic and BKK locking funds. Locking funds because you have been issued a credit card against the funds is a totally different topic.
  8. Yes, Bangkok bank and I am not wrong. You can withdraw funds at any point during the fixed term period, but lose some of interest. Of course if they issued a credit card against the balance of that account it's a different matter, but credit cards were not the topic of discussion. With Bangkok bank, if a FTD account reaches the term of the agreed period, the funds remain in that account but reverts to the same interest rate as that of a Savings account, so important when due to 'roll' it over into another fixed term to obtain the better interest rate.
  9. Why? It's stamped, signed and dated the day you collect it, which in my case is the morning of submission. At larger busier offices perhaps. Many of the smaller IO's insist on same day updates.
  10. Unlike Kasikorn and some other banks, Bangkok bank can update the passbook to the current date without any deposits or withdrawals.
  11. FTD accounts are not locked by BKK.
  12. I think there was a misunderstanding, lost in translation, in this matter. Upon the due date, customer may opt to transfer the total deposit amount and interest to savings or current account. If the customer does not contact the Bank, the system will continue the deposit with the compounded interest. https://www.uob.co.th/personal-en/deposits/fixed-deposit/uob-fixed-deposit-account.page If the bank cannot update the passbook as you state, then additionally request a 12 month bank statement. As standard, I always supply updated passbook, bank statement and letter.
  13. When I transferred stamps to new passport no new TM30 required. Transferring stamps to a new passport doesn't change your registered address.
  14. @DrJack54 can confirm you can report by mail at CW.
  15. Non Imm visa, single entry, valid for 90 days, permitted to stay for 90 days, extensions possible. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/medical-visa
