BKK Bank 4 months banked method??
DrJack54 replied to homemade514's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
This has hit like a bomb. Bolt from the blue seems good description. Perhaps some guys using agents can post updates of advice from their agent. -

DrJack54 replied to homemade514's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thanks Tod. Find the last sentence in the notice from Bangkok Bank very concerning. "Please ensure that the money in your account belongs to you personally.DO NOT BRING MONEY FORM OTHER TO PUT IN THE BANK ACCOUNT" Especially the last sentence which is in Caps. Big News (to me) -

No. For extensions funds not required to be from abroad -
800k Not In the Bank Method
DrJack54 replied to Forever Young's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
He could after using an agent run financial compliance for 12 months including back to 2 months prior to last extension. That would avoid exiting Thailand. However suggest very few would do that. Better option would be to start over IMO. That can be done by border bounce and obtain Non O from visa exempt entry or obtain Non O in nearby country. FAIR: your friend is old and has some financial issues. Suggest he just continue ongoing with agent. -

DrJack54 replied to homemade514's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your OP was concerning 400b. As in extensions marriage. Agents don't even deal with those regarding funds. Time for some folk to change banks. -
BKK Bank 4 months banked method??
DrJack54 replied to homemade514's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
There is no letter "confirming the funds" There is a bank letter that basically lists name of owner of the account and balance at time of issue. 100b For seasoning of funds (2 months) immigration would accept 3 month Bank statement or even photocopies of Bank book showing balances back two months. Suggest there is a "lost in translation" in this story. Keeping funds for 4 months would suggest perhaps a Fixed Deposit account. In any event. Story makes no sense and is guess work -
Visa run limits
DrJack54 replied to wornoutcowboy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As pointed out he would require a visa however thinking your suggestion a good one. In my first 7 years in Thailand I went to Vietnam pretty much every month. During that time I (Oz) would buy 4 three month multi entry visas/year. From memory 80usd each. Think eVisa has came down in price. Never understand why folk have desire to spend as much time as possible in Thailand. -
800k Not In the Bank Method
DrJack54 replied to Forever Young's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's the best option. A border bounce without a reentry permit to then reenter visa exempt and apply for Non O at local immigration is also an option. However that would require to show 800k from abroad. Non O from outside Thailand better option. -
How to open a Bank account in 2025?
DrJack54 replied to BS25's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Great. Contact them tomorrow as I did some time ago... "No can do" Ask @ThaiVisaCentre if they can assist with opening Bank account without a Non O Thinking not. -
Visa run limits
DrJack54 replied to wornoutcowboy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You plan to visit these other countries via air and reenter via air? How long is the time frame? Meaning total stay in SEA over next 12 months? Sounds like 6 months in and 6 out. Currently borders closed with Cambodia however that should resolve at some point.. For a Non O in own country the 800k does not need to be in Thai Bank . For 12 month extension it does. -
Transfering Visa from old to new passport

That's not uncommon. Immigration just being Lazy. Also not uncommon. -

DrJack54 replied to Forever Young's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
When you apply for extension the financial requirements are checked retrospectively. Non compliance will be obvious -
Transfering Visa from old to new passport
DrJack54 replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Read my previous advice. Do not leave transfer of stamps till next extension application. Do beforehand. Why not do it now. Don't follow your questions. Then also update your bank. TDL not important. -

For extension based on marriage the requirement is 400k in Thai bank account in your name only for 2 months prior to application and maintained during under consideration period. -
Transfering Visa from old to new passport
DrJack54 replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You would need to have stamps transferred prior (or same time) as any dealings with immigration. For example to obtain COR, Extension etc. Suggest you do it prior to extension and update information with your bank -
Transfering Visa from old to new passport

Not at most immigration offices. https://aseannow.com/topic/1336167-transfer-of-information-from-old-passport-to-new-passport/ Just more immigration offices making their own rules. -

Transfering Visa from old to new passport
DrJack54 replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thanks for report. Not sure why you would be surprised by required insurance to show compliance. Year back I did my transfer at CW. Extensions from a Non O. In addition to the requirements on the form they wanted photocopies of bank book pages back to current extension + bank book update. This would be to show financial compliance. Just typical rubbish from immigration. Add things Willy Nillie and don't indicate the change on the form
