I understand request for statements when someone using it as daily bank account as sometimes if there are many transactions they can be consolidated. As I mentioned earlier I don't use the bank account. Sits in the draw and comes out for immigration. Cannot for the life of me understand why they would not just accept photocopies of bank book pages along with the bank book. Strange that it was OK for the 9 previous extensions.

Online 90 Days after changing TM30
DrJack54 replied to hammered's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You could try online however failing that a visit in person or via mail would work. -
Assume you mean that your current permit expires in 52 days. Immigration requires 2 months of seasoning Your application would be rejected. Obtain a 60 day extension to visit wife. That provides required time. Edit: just noticed OP has used his 60 day extension. Border bounce does not help as you would then need to do a new non O marriage

Thanks for report. Seems that you have an FD account. Immigration does not check them so carefully for monthly transactions. I actually use two dedicated accounts one FD and a savings a/c same bank. That part of my earlier post was off topic but pointing out for others that use CW need be aware of shift towards requirements of bank statements. It was not just down to the junior io as I disputed her notion and was sent to back of office to head lady. Back to the OP, yes letter can be days old. CW folk bit lucky with most banks located inside of imm office building. The bank letter along with small deposit that serves as bank update all done in minutes. Note: SCB does not have branch there and same of course for OP,s bank.

Re-entry at immigration or airport?
DrJack54 replied to AustinRacing's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Listen to this experienced guy. -
They do not and also SCB do not. The OP has made easy into difficult however he can obtain letter days prior. More difficult to show activity on day of application. IO may not require that. Not sure what immigration CW will require for "passport -less" bank account. Hopefully someone will update that uses similar account. Off topic : for my extension (retirement) last Nov the io looked at every month. I use dedicated bank account. She was not happy that couple of months had zero transactions. The previous many years not an issue. Made me sign my paperwork that I would provide bank statements for next extension. Strange that was never an issue previously. Thai immigration offices are a joke.

Re-entry at immigration or airport?
DrJack54 replied to AustinRacing's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The OP did not obtain a reentry permit at time of his extension. It now requires trip to immigration and if that's a long process then it's a no brainer. Perhaps you haven't done a reentry permit at airports. It's a breeze. BKK even offers an option of "service fee" 200baht ... They do all..provide form, photocopies pp and pp. Personally done 9 at airports and 1 at CW. .... No brainer if you don't obtain the permit same time as extension visit. -
Bank letter can be up to seven days early at CW, however day prior is best practice. As for update.. Best to do on day of application. Some immigration officers at CW want to see transaction on day of application. It's not a problem that the balance will not match bank letter. You did not mention if extension based on retirement or marriage. It's seems CW is moving towards 12 month statement for extension based on retirement.

DrJack54 replied to AustinRacing's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
All of which has nothing to do with queue at the reentry permit office where often zero . Regardless of how busy airport is the reentry permit often less than 20 minutes. DMK 10 mins. As someone posted earlier.. depends on your immigration office and if your relatively handy. In Bangkok best part of a day to obtain at CW. -
Visa exempt to Non Imm O based on retirement.
DrJack54 replied to phetphet's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Most immigration offices should accept a TM30 along with explaining currently looking for condo to lease.. You stated this........ "I'm sure he will be able to get a covering letter from the hotel that he will be staying for three months, but will that be enough?" That is a bonus and should be sufficient along with a TM30 screenshot from the hotel. -
Health insurance Non O and Non O-A
DrJack54 replied to glegolo18's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Nothing to do with Phuket office. I posted earlier that most if not all offices will insist on the FIRST extension from a non O-A must be based on retirement. Subsequent extensions can be based on marriage -
Agree 100%. Ridiculous thread. I recently took trip to Vietnam. Being Oz there is NO visa exempt entry for entry to Vietnam. Pre to covid you could obtain a 90 day multiple entry tourist visa. That is no longer available. Only tourist visa available is single entry tourist visa. What are the moaners on about re Thailand options.

DrJack54 replied to glegolo18's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That is pretty much universal. You would have received same answer in most offices including CW. -
Does Laos E-Visa take up a passport page?
DrJack54 replied to farangbuffalo's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
No. -
They don't need to show anything. Cash in any currency equivalent to 20k in total would be sensible as a family. The airline at departure from Germany may ask for proof of onward/return ticket. There are options to cover that. They don't need to show hotel reservations. Having address of a hotel a good idea. How long is the holiday in Thailand
