Don’t you read the OP ?, you have to show a bank statement !

 

No mention of passbook !

yes i did read and this is about showing the 800k at 90 day check in nothing else

itys one or the other, not both..

.

this is about a proposal that those with the 800,000 in the bank having to show its still there with every every 90 days report

so after the initial show and tell with money in bank with letter

the extension is granted, then the agent takes it out

3 months later when 90 days is due then you show up at agent and agent deposits 800,000 again, and updates passbook.

agent withdraws 800,000 by ATM transfer and does not update bankbook

you go to immigration with the passbook, do the 90 days, show the bankbook

all done for 3 months

update book if you wish ot leave it to still sow 800,000 in bank for next 3 months

rinse, repeat..

So how do you suppose you confirm that you have 800k in the bank?

the bankbook would say there was 800,000 in the bank account

like this:

I concur 100% with your comment, Chippy151. I've always maintained that the current regime in charge of Thai government
doesn't want any foreigners living here.  The regime grudgingly tolerates us due to the financial contributions we make to the
country's economy. There are certainly better places to live as a retiree and spend money. Speaking for myself, I'm exploring 
Cambodia as an alternative. 
 

wasn't it Thaksin that said that?

how will this drive out the corruption and the use of agents?  i'd expect the opposite.

 

now some gots to visit the agent 3-4 more times a year to get their 800k seasoned.

not seasoned, in , update book and out via ATM transfer, do not update bank book , show

rinse repeat

The bank letter only confirms you have a valid account, it doesn't show details. It's your bank book/statement which the IO uses to show the details of money flowing through the account.

no it does not

You are forgetting the bank letter needed for extension are you not ?

this is 90 day reporting proposal we are talking about, that is this topics subject matter

not annual renewal, do keep up

so to be clear one time in four you would get a letter

happy?

This sounds like more diarrhea of the mouth and will just get TV posters bent out of shape, but it's got a low possibility of ever being implemented. 

 

i agree, still waiting for mandatory insurance that was first mooted 5 years ago and again recently.

Just fodder for Thiavisabeleivers..

To get rid of agents? If they wanted to get rid of agents they would simply add "all applications have to be done in person" (except medical extensions), and remove the possibility for the seasoning requirement to be waived. What they are planning to do now will just allow immigration officials to collect tea money four times a year instead of just once.

it says that applications have to be done in person already

I suppose bank statements could be forged by agents but I think most people here have bank accounts with passbooks and if these have to be shown it should be pretty difficult to get extension unless IO is very complicit in this corrupt practice

why forge anything?

put money in, update bank book, transfer out at the ATM, do not update bank book

rinse, repeat....

Instead of all this nonsense due to the scammers, just get rid of the agents! Yesterday it was posted one office is requiring all extensions to be applied for in person, to me this solves problems concerning misrepresentation of funds.

that has always been the rule and just who do you think agents work for?

People that use agencies are normally trying to avoid complying with the rules, seems like that is what you are trying to do? 

seems to me that people who use agents are trying to comply with the rules as best they can. If they weren't, why would they pay 20,000+ to an agent to try to stay legal? why not save that money for an overstay fine ?

Nobody seems to have any actual information regarding my specific question.

It is not about using agents in general. There have been numerous topics about that before.

 

It's about whether if you did a recent application that was rejected, would that make using an agent more of a risk or not? Presumably immigration would have a record of a recent rejection and then soon after there would be this agent application using a different method.

it would not be a problem

You seem quite enthusiastic about systematised corruption and under the table payments. Tip of the hat to JT, with his prolific reminders as to what's really going on here. 

if he really knew what was going on and commented accordingly, i would have no issue with it
