Bit off topic but banks have certain number of transactions per month,then they can consolidate entries. Apart from fees it's the last thing you should do.

Yes. Keep in mind that you also have your bank book. Bank letter (not 12 month statement) along with Bank 12 month statements accepted up to 7 days prior to application. Apart from that some immigration offices require activity and update on day of application. That will not marry with letter and statements. No problem.

Quoting "Integrity Legal" are you serious.

Being 10 minute drive that's an option for in person. I also have had bad experience re online reporting CW. For others with far more difficult in person reporting (travel, mobility etc) I'm surprised folk don't report via mail option. Note for others....unlike online reporting reports via mail do not lose days. With mail reporting the new report day is 90 from current due date not from when you post it. (general info for forum)

Very poor idea. Bit of a nonsense. Immigration will accept one transaction each month. In most immigration offices the bank book photocopies will be sufficient. Some want 12 month bank statement. 200b on the spot or up to a week for BBL

No

OP, post same question in current thread LTR. Another thread not necessary Thread closed

What account activity? Immigration will accept 12 month of bank statements no need for a "5b transfer scheme". Some offices will accept just the photocopies of pages back till issue of current extension. Along with copy of first page showing account name and account number.

Assume you mean photocopies of all pages back till start of current extension (12 months). The 6 month statement being an added extra. CW now wants 12 month bank statement if you have some months with no activity or where there have been consolidated transactions.

OP, why are you obtaining a tourist visa that provides 60 day stamp when visa exempt provides the same stamp. Both can be extended by 30 days

Year old thread and current posts just back and forth. Thread closed.

Looking back one main reason I joined AseanNow was to try and keep up with immigration requirements. I have never done a TM30. Same address 12 years. In two weeks time I attend CW for annual extension. I will do a TM30 to include in docs.

True, however in reality visitors to Thailand only need a TM30 if having dealings with immigration. Common one for tourists is extension. In the OP situation if obtaining a non O he would do nothing regards TM30 unlike extending a visa exempt entry which require a TM30 printout

Did not expect that reply. Thinking his first step is to find out where the pp is currently. If it's lost fine....contact agent to confirm situation with location of pp. Ascertain that for next steps.

OP, as you can read from all the posts really comes down to non O vs visa exempt entry+ 30 day extension. Where you will be staying comes into play to some extent. Access to immigration office etc. One advantage of the non O is zero dealing with immigration after you arrive.. Also possible requirement from airline to have onward flight within the 60 days would not be necessary with a Visa Granted there are ways around that. Google "onwardticket.com"

Indeed.... And for anyone confused about insurance requirement for a non O-A be aware that this is a requirement for ongoing annual extensions. Such a good visa prior to insurance requirement being added.

Good agents can do the process of passport renewal. Seems your friend has a useless agent. What area is your friend located. Was the agent a business with physical presence, meaning office. Agents (in the main) do not/cannot help with overstay. Does the agent actually have the license.. USA pp renewal should have taken under 3 weeks. I did my Oz pp renewal recently and it took 20 days from mail to Bangkok to received return mail.

That is a new requirement to update your bankbook and provide photocopies of pages of bb back to application for current extension. It was never required previously however is currently at CW. Bank letter and statement is overkill.

Thread closed. No longer dealing with OP question.

Not suggesting your experience not true. However it was an anomaly. Never happens. The OP should attend immigration on Monday as he is still within "grace period" for in person reporting. OR skip it and wait till next time he needs to attend immigration office. Fine will be 2k. Does not accumulate.

Trolling post removed

Of course it requires financials. The OP would need to satisfy those requirements. Obviously it would be funds in bank. If that's not possible then he can enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain 30 day extension.
