It's a waste of time in recent years things have changed. Ignore the bring a Thai friend with account at that bank or a Thai government employee etc etc. I am stating from my own experience. I have extensions from non O based on retirement and even big branches in Sukhumvit wanted a "certificate of residence " OR letter from embassy. UK,USA,AU do not provide that for address. Also 800k in your pocket will not help. Fortunately I had success with Kasikorn, however I had a non O (not a tourist visa) Also already had an account with another bank. An agent can open an account with BBL. Cost approx 4500b

OP, reports of being able to do an extension early, (eg couple of weeks) added to the normal 30 days and some offices 45 is possible. That has occurred where there has be evidence of necessary travel and some evidence such as flights etc. However that does not change your ongoing "renewal date" The only way to do that is to start over. If married to Thai you can change the date by obtaining a 60 day extension to visit wife. In addition an agents may be able to assist with earlier renewal.

OP, you can also enter visa exempt and obtain non O based on retirement and then 12 month extension. Best option for ongoing stay in Thailand. A reentry permit will enable trips back to UK. https://aseannow.com/topic/1311886-visa-exempt-to-retirement-extension-process-and-cost/

Re-Entry permit for Iraninan tourist
DrJack54 replied to md92h's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
OP, my understanding is that Iranian citizens require a tourist visa for Thailand You could obtain a reentry permit to enable you to exit Thailand and reenter via land or air. Note the reentry permit can be obtained at the airport on day of departure. -
Border bounce via air after using SETV
DrJack54 replied to limesaz2015's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
There are reports of after extensive stay a chap sent his elderly mother to KL and back same day. Had very hard time at immigration on arrival back to Thailand. To your other question ....you won't have any issues there is significant gap between your trips to Thailand. I never understand the urgency to get back to Thailand. Why folks don't check out places such as Saigon for a week amazes me. -

Re-Entry Permit Warning
DrJack54 replied to mikebell's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
OP is now aware of his misunderstanding. Topic closed -
I will state it again. You do not understand the requirements. The fact you have bubbled through it looking for "bank guarantee letter" is just one error. You are referring to "bank letter". That letter simply confirms you are the owner of the account and the balance on date of issue. For proof the financial requirements have been met you provide bank statements or photocopies of bank book.
