  1. On arrival back to Thailand, present your new passport, with your old one, mentioning your re entry permit is in the old one, the officer will view both passports and your entry stamp will be in your new one.. I have done this.... I recommend visiting your immigration office as soon as possible to have your extension and re entry stamps transferred to your new passport.
  2. As others have mentioned, you will need to wait until you have 45 days or under left on your current visa before you can apply. You will need two copies of the application form applicable (TM 86 or TM 87) You may or may not be asked for proof that your seasoned funds came from abroad, if not already shown as FTT entries TM30 will also be required.
  3. Guess a lot comes down to your history, not the break in between, maybe he doesn't think you are a tourist, based on past accumulated days here maybe?
  4. Interest is paid monthly to this account, I have one. Mee Tae Dai Savings | Bank of Ayudhya (krungsri.com)
  5. End of the day, the bank statement and letter of balance confirms what you have in your account, that may or may not include a passbook. Eliminating the need for passbooks, looks to me like the way of future banking, except in regard to SCB, they have implemented it ahead of others.
  6. I did and also noticed your question followed by a question mark, hence my reply.
  7. Well, for the extra interest, given the account is accepted by more than one immigration office, including mine..........
  8. According to a number of replies, this type of account is accepted, including at Chiang Mai where Ill extend, so to answer your 2nd question "both" so win win........
  9. 1.5% interest as opposed to 0.9% with my current passbook account, one reason. Also, others have mentioned they use this type of account for immigration purposes, so, just waiting for someone who actually knows the answer, to comment, rather than a question answered with another question. The answer could be as simple as printing the app screenshot on the day and submitting with a 12-month statement?
  10. Thanks, but I'm sure there are a few on here who have the answer based on their experience with the same type of account....
  11. Hello Did you not read the post, there is NO passbook.
  12. I was wondering, those of you who have your 800K in an app only account, such as SCB EZ with no passbook, when extending your visa, apart from a 12-month statement, what is accepted at immigration, in lieu of passbook pages, confirming your balance the day of application?
  13. For those of you who have transferred your 800K for retirement purposes from one bank to another, I have a couple of questions: 1) Is it better to change banks shortly after renewing your extension, or is there no difference? In other words, for the following renewal, would I require statements from both banks? 2) If changing from a passbook account to an E account (no passbook SCB EZ) after the required 12-month statement is generated from the bank, what would I show immigration as far as a current balance on the day of application, given there is no actual passbook to update and photocopy for them? My Immigration office is Chang Mai. Thanks.
  14. No problems maintaining your existing account, however if you were to apply for an additional account, even with your existing bank, you would need to show a long-term visa on application.
  15. When visiting Cambodia in June, I was able to scan and pay (Krungsri app) in most places, which displayed a QR code payable in Riel, the same way we scan and use Prompt pay here in Thailand. However, currently, any QR I have saved, does not appear to work, they previously did, even when I was in Thailand. Local Thai QR scan and pay is working fine. Last week I was in Vietnam, both Bangkok bank and Krungsri apps were unsuccessful with any attempted scan, even though both banks promote the cross-border service. Has anyone had recent firsthand successful experience in either country? Please refrain from replying if your answer is theoretical, rather than actual. Thanks.
