He had no will and didn’t inform anyone in his family about his accounts? 

When I left Australia I authorised my mom as a co-signer on my account and she has copies of everything: bank accounts, family trust account, term deposits, my shares and brokers contact details plus an airtight will. 

You cant blame the banks for your friends lack of preparation 

When you die, they still have to go through the court in Thailand if there are money in the bank.What can help or make the matter easier is to write a will here in Thailand through a lawyer you can trust, and they are not that many of them, but you probably have one (but still court).

Does anyone think of when you die and monky in thai bank? A good friend of me died and he had a lot of money in Thai bank. His family had to have papers from the court in his home country translated into Thai and then in to court in Thailand and where the case is still after 4.5 years. And a think the money are gone forever, only hime have acces to the account.

Unsure if this article/interview really clarifies rules 

Reading it, it looks like those who still use an embassy's income letter

now need to show "bankbook records proving this income already being received [in a Thai bank]" ?? 

No one need Embassy/Consulate letter no more in Phuket, that what Phuket Immigration says.

If u are from Norway or Sweden they also have to show bank account even though have have a pension letter (State pensjon). What going to happen is that these consulates will be closed down.

Here you have it Sorry : https://www.thephuketnews.com/holding-the-balance- phuket-immigration-clarifies-new-rules-on-retirement-visas-to-start-march-1-70401.php#UHYTRJCl0iIfGdem.97

Since when,no mention of this here

Was there monday fore exstation. 

 In Phuket it does not hold and have 800 / 400k in the bank, you also have to prove that you spend money every month.

Everyone in this forum + thai wife/husband should send a E-Mail to Immigration in Bangkok (Big Joke) and ask why they make it soooo difficult for 10,000++ thai families in Thailand. Nothing happens until there are many complaints.+ thai wife / husband

So let's get this straight. If your Embassy will still issue a letter you must go there. If your Embassy WILL NOT issue a letter, your bank and the IO do it. 

They will, If you have pension in Norway the Embassy or Consulate in Thailand make the pension letter.

Somebody needs to show them the amendment to the police order that was sent out to all offices last month.

They got it from more than one customers, but this Office are running their own rules as always. They have something and learn from 7/11 where the same laws and rules in all the stores.

Just now, ubonjoe said:

No you do not. The proof of income from an an embassy is still accepted.

Thank you Ubonjoe, but this its a problem in Phuket believe me.

For an extension of stay for retirement it is B 800,000; for an extension of stay for marriage, it is B 400,000.

 

It should have been the other way 1-person (400K) costs less then 2 people.(800K)

" Ubonjoe" If one have the statement from like Norwegians Ambassade you have pensjon every month, must this person show money in the Thai bank every month.

Your wife can act as a reference and her house book and ID can prove your residence although the yellow book does the same thing.

Best to go to one of the main branches to get the account opened.

I am not sure that is correct info. Perhaps your personal experience.

There is no written requirement on any bank website I have seen that states it is mandatory.

Its not my experience a have a 3 bank account for 14 years so ok for me, but new people some want open a bank account problem. You think one Thai can go to like europe/ Scandinavien and open a bank account can not.
