What's your point. This thread is CW specific and the question is about money in bank method. Not combination method

But did they still give you the Extension? I had exactly same experience in Oct 2022 After asking for senior io we had a chit chat and finally was accepted. She made me write on my bundle of docs ..."next year I will provide bank statement" Kid you not ..perhaps a face saving thing.

You mention 'dedicated account' Did you make a transaction every month?

I use money in bank method for extensions based on retirement CW. The issue for my application Oct 2022 was that there were few months with zero entries. I just have a dedicated bank account for immigration purposes. They can also request Bank Statement if they think there were consolidated entries. They were going to reject until I asked for senior io. This year (Oct 2023) I decided to provide bank statement. At Kasikorn they can provide 12 month bank statement on the spot for 200b. The next day I attended CW and obtained my bank letter (lower level) along with small deposit. I also went to print/photocopy stall (same level) and photocopies of all the required docs. Also some photos taken (4 pics 100b). The other NEW requirement was TM47

Another rambling rubbish thread concerning misunderstood tax. Pull up the bar stools.

Hello, seeking advice about recently obtained multi eVisa tourism Hopefully someone can explain what the dates mean. Have a thread running in "visas to other countries" forum. So far not clear

Sadly you don't know what are talking about. Read up on visa options....one being multi entry non O available at some embassies/consulates, It's a visa option used by many. Many married guys prefer it over non O with extensions. Some gas/oil and roster workers find good option.

If your ongoing plan is to spend half a year in Thailand (snowbird) you could consider obtaining a Non O based on retirement and subsequent extensions. With a set period spent in Thailand each year you could be in Thailand to apply for ongoing extensions. You can obtain the initial non O in your own country or at immigration office in Thailand from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. If your country provides a multi entry Non O retirement then that is also an option.

Normally CW require a transaction on day of application. Bank letter is accepted up to 7 days early. At CW most banks are located on lower level. Best to do letter and deposit on day of application. SBC does not have branch at CW.

I did my annual at CW October 4. They wanted Bank Statements, one year. I also provided bankbook and photocopies off 12 months. Also required TM47 The TM47 is a new thing at CW.

Don't mention the war. This song was banned in Oz 1973 due to lyrics "her legs were often open" Funny by today's standards

I'm Australian and along with USA cannot enter Vietnam visa exempt. Always required a visa.

I'm very confused and slightly upset. Prior to eVisa I used to arrive in Vietnam with an "approval letter" that enabled visa on arrival. A one page sticker was attached to pp. I always obtained Multi. They work differently than multi in Thailand. If you enter Vietnam just prior to visa expiry you only receive entry up to visa expiry date. I have already booked trips to Saigon x 2 and a trip to Hanoi Xmas/new year and one in Jan. That's 4 in 3 month period, as I did prior to covid. Very confused with new "rules" Why did my single entry in Feb seem to indicate 14 day stay.

Now I'm extremely confused. My last eVisa was single entry that provides a 30 day stay. Attached is copy of that visa and subsequent snap of my pp. Why was I only admitted for 14 days . The date in red circle looks to me ...17/02/2023. I entered 02/02/2023. FFS

Stick to "visa , work permits..." Not aware that political opinion comment was domain of this forum. Don't understand why this topic is in this forum when threads already in News forum

The thing is multi entry visa for Vietnam allows entries for 90 days. I'm confused because prior to covid I previously obtained many. This is prior to eVisa. I have now checked my single entry eVisa I obtained Feb this year and it had the same 14 or 15 day "good for entry from (date) to until (date). Thinking that means you have 2 weeks to enter . I'm confused. Prior to eVisa ...I obtained 4 visits to Vietnam every month for many years.

If you paid a "fee" you would not have been given a receipt as it's a free service for transfer of stamps.

I just received my eVisa for Vietnam. I applied for 90 day multi entry. See attachment. Seems I have been given entry Oct 25 until Nov 11....?? What the

Good points. The bonus on the exit reenter with a multi entry visa is that there is no questions upon reentry at airports. A nice weekend+ to Saigon would be my plan. Especially if based in Bangkok.

Obtain a METV while in USA. The METV will provide 9 months. Followed by couple of border runs for visa exempt entries + 30 day extension for each. Total 13 months. Assume that you are under 50

You can enter Thailand's visa exempt and be given 30 day stamp. Prior to expiry you can obtain a 30 day extension. 1900b That provides 60 day day. If 90+ is required you can do border bounce for another visa exempt entry that can also be extended if required. Note for visa exempt entry via air the airline at departure may require onward flight within 30 days. There are options to cover that.

Many threads re this. Apparently now an easy process. https://aseannow.com/topic/1308022-metv-from-london/

That would be impossible as Thailand having 75 immigration offices where many play their own game. One example ...you posted non O at CW and received correct advice that minimum 15 days remaining on permission of stay. However it's 21 days at CM and 15 business days at Phuket. Currently Jomitien is rogue with requiring money in bank for non O for 2 months prior and actually it's only required on day of application for non O. Not even start me on rogue office CM regarding TM30 and not applying change in rules. Apply early at CW and if there is an issue you have time to obtain what they require.

If anything CW does not throw curve balls compared to Jomtien. There has been lot of advice posted along with links outlining the procedure. Just recently you posted that you are changing address ... Then use TM30 screenshot for that condo. Your questions have been answered

Zero issues.
