Perhaps the better question is " why did you provide a letter from the embassy if you had B900,000 baht in your account?" Unless B800,000 had not been in the account for at least 3 months prior to the date of application for the visa extension (in such case you would not provide the evidence of the required B800,000 in a Thai bank; you don't need both), I am aware of no requirement for a letter of income from an embassy if proper evidence of B800,000 in a Thai bank is used as the basis for the extension of stay in Thailand. 

Sorry about that my original post is  misleading (along with the Statuory Declaration of income per annum , bank letter ,and updated bank book totalling BHT 900,000 ) The 900,000 was a combination of Stat Dec and bank book funds  .one baht.

Sorry about that ,my original post is misleading.(  with the Statuory Declaration of income per annum , bank letter ,and updated bank book totalling BHT 900,000 )

The 900,000 is a combination of bank book and Stat Dec

could some show me how to post a reply to a members  post ? 

GIDDYUP , The 900,000 was a combined total of money in aThai bank book and a Stat Dec showing my Pension Income  paid into my  bank in Ausralia

Glegolo , the Australian Embassy doesnt want to know about verification

they just witness you sign the statement , my statements are true accounts of my financial facts ,and life is good in the land of smiles ! 

Yes  KiChakayan l considered using the Equity Loan Available Funds but thought that might invite questions of what it means ,is income ? how you have ? not income ,where come from ,? , that type of thing , l just made the choice l used which was 100 per cent  legitimate but she was going to make me prove it ! anyhow it's all good ,lifes good in the land of smiles.

Hi All,  This encounter may be of use to some,

Visited Chaiyaphum Immigration today and passed over my application forms for a 12 month extension of stay

along with the Statuory Declaration of income per annum , bank letter ,and updated bank book totalling BHT 900,000 , all was in order, l was 

then asked by a new officer if the amount stated in the Stat Dec was my pension, yes it was i said , she then asked for my

bank statements showing my monthly pension deposits, l didnt have them ,l was then asked to come into the office area and print out

statements showing pension deposits and thier total , l let her know when l had opened up my internet banking site and  as

she was about to come over  the officer who has been there since it opened asked what l was doing at the office computer

and l heard her say no,non,no, not worry he have papers and bank book , but newbie was adamant she was going to 

have a look, so she starts scrolling through the months and l am pointing out pension ,pension,and l bought to her attention

the Available Funds amount ,which is a Home Equity Loan that my pension is deposited into, and this total substantially exceeds the Stat Dec amount

That did the trick otherwise l would have had to print off all the pension deposits ,which are  from the last 12 months and therefore not a true amount compared to the next 12 months so l was lucky , Had l not had the Home Euity loan in place .who knows !

....................!? l then asked her ok? finished now ,"yes" , ok l log off now ,"no not worry log off" l have to close it ,this  is a private site ,"not worry",

l am sorry but l log off now , "ok" ,anyhow got my 12 month extension of stay ,

Funny old day.

As l have said before ,Wais and Smiles all around

Thank you both for the advice  

Hi all , 

l have just returned from Penang to-day with a 90 day Non Immigrant O Single Entry Visa ,  l now need to travel to Australia in mid April and return May 1st,

just need a nod as to my understanding of the Re-Entry Permit and the TM6 Arrival card  .l will report to the Immigration Office tommorrow and while there l will apply for the Re-Entry Permit , as l understand it this will protect my Non O Visa , And in regards to the TM6 Arrival card when l return what should l write down

in the" Type of Visa" box ? and in the intended period of stay box should l just put the remaining days left of the on my Non O Visa ?,

Thank you for any advice .

Thanks for the advice , will print them in black and white just to be sure

 Hi all ,  

l was wondering if there is a Bangkok Bank branch

anywhere in Bangkok that would do a Letter of Confirmation of Funds on a week-end ,We get into Don Mueang saturday morning ,

and would like to travel to Penang in the afternoon , I called Bangkok Bank in Penang and they told me they cant help me because the computers aren't linked to accounts in Thailand , anyway we just might have to stay in Bangkok ,much prefer to have a look around Georgetown though ! any advice would be appreciated , thanks.

Thank you to everyone for your help and input, Problem now Resolved , Took the copy Maesrto  and instant success, thanks for that . Showed them the form Ubon Joe and they said no problems. It just so happens we spoke to the same lady as yesterday ,

 With the same young bloke sitting at the desk next to hers, well he joined in and spoke english   today! ( He had listened to everything talked about yesterday and didnt say boo  ) and that was it over in a matter of minutes , l just sat there a like a stunned mullet with a big grin on my face.  Thanks Tanoshi for your offer also .It was Wais and Smiles allround .

Departed Australia Oct 3rd with one way ticket Air Asia , No Queries at all .

They have  2 forms Tim  ,Form A .  and   Form B.  So it looks as though Form A would be available to quite a few according to the list below .

VISA APPLICATION FORM 

Passport/Travel Document bearers who hold the nationalities, listed below, use FORM B. 

Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Central African Republic, China, Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Guinea, India, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Sao Tome and Principe, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen

Thank you everyone for your helpful advice ,   It is very much appreciated .

 This may be of interest, The Thai Consulate in Melbourne does not require an outward bound itinerary for a SETV

Thanks Joe ,  We will download that and take it into the banks tomorrow . 

Tim, The banks mentioned, know the money ,as, been transfered from abroad , but cant write a statement confirming this,i would just like to know how to go about this as others have done .

Could someone lead me to a bank in Chaiyaphum that will write me a letter guaranteeing funds were transfered from abroad,  We were told cannot do at 3 branches of Bangkok Bank , and 2 branches of Siam Commercial Bank in Chaiyaphum today, l have an account at both banks , they said they can only verify the amount in the bank book ,  but cannot state where it came from . We explained it is a requirement of the Thai Immigration department  We spent considerable time in each bank , slightly amused ! Thanks .

 For those who may be interested , The friend of mine in Australia , has been granted a 6 month METV , using a copy of his latest Home Equity Loan Statement showing a debit balance.   $8000 is the required amount of "Adequate Finance" for a  6 month METV in Australia. He obtained his visa in Melbourne .  Thought this could  be of help to some  .
