Yup, thats the plan on Monday, not gonna lie curiosity just got the better of me and thought to ask here. Thanks everyone for the insight, great as always.

No, nothing unusual, just some toys and a birthday card from the grandparents. But I suppose there’s always a chance something might be unexpectedly “prohibited” ?

Thanks for sharing! Luckily, it’s nothing that exciting—just some birthday toys and cards for the little one. 😊 I appreciate the insight, though—it’s good to know about situations like that just in case!

Already gave them a call, but since it’s Saturday and they’re closed until Monday, I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask here in the meantime. Really appreciate the suggestion, though—thank you!

Hi all! I received a notice to collect a package at my local post office, but there’s no value or details on the slip. Normally, I can just pay online through the thai post custom payment website, and the postman delivers it within a few days. There’s nothing unusual or restricted in the package, so I’m curious—why would they ask me to collect it in person this time? Has anyone else had this happen recently, or know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance for any insights!

There's been an update on the families Facebook page, and confirmation from what appears to be an immigration officer that he passed through immigration and boarded a Finnair flight.

Ok, Im glad you mentioned as I had seen on the previous thread there was a TM7 download, but I guess thats a no go 🙂 Not a problem you've been plenty of help now and previously. As mentioned I just want to try and make this as headache free as possible, up north I was in and out of immigration in about an hour if everything was provided as they knew me, but moving to Samui the process while similar obviously has a few important differences. I should be okay with my map(s), but ill have a browse through that thread as well. Thanks again!

And that is what I was trying to figure out, as I was wanting to visit the bank for the bank letter / 3 month statement the day before, but assuming I can do the passbook update on the machine on the day of (lets say 7am), versus waiting for the bank to open at 10am.

Cheers, good to know.

Thanks for the reply, and thats why I wanted to ask just to make sure im not left with any surprises (which Im sure there will still be). Does it matter if all of these are done the day before? or they have to be made the day of ? Last question ( I hope), is there a need for Witness? Up north where I was before, we had to bring same witness every year to immigration

Thank you @DrJack54 . I have seasoned the money for 3 monthsI just wasn't sure about the 'bank certificate' part of the requirements. And after searching the forum a bit more I found example letters which you provided. Appreciate it, love this forum for the help and knowledge.

@khunPer , Despite the last question I decided to go with the 400k for 2 months. Excuse the basic question but are you familiar with the requirements and 400k in the bank, if so what is the required Bank Certificate. e.g. Bank certificate with the balance of 400,000+ THB (showing the past 2 months have not less than 400,000 THB) (valid for 7 days statement for 2 months carlier, update the bank book to current day and the photocopy of the bank book Is that a copy of my bank book showing that, or is there a specific document one must request from the bank branch itself? IS there anything else samui immigration looks for in that?

That's great, truly appreciate your help and provided links. Im getting close to my renewal and I just wanted to make sure I did not need to start looking at dumping a lump sum or transferring money in monthly and getting the bank statement about that. The affidavit is easier and more familiar for me to work with at this point. thanks again! -- Stan

Good afternoon, Wondering if anyone currently used the income affidavit from their embassy for marriage or retirement visa with Samui immigration or whether or not they accept it. My previous province IO has allowed it the past decade but have just moved and curious if Samui immigration accepts it. Cheers, Stan

@simon43 , Guess my question of handing it over in thousand baht bills isnt as farfetched as I thought Granted seems like a bit of a risk.
