The bank letter is accepted if made days prior to application. However one big bonus of CW (where the OP is dealing with) is that most banks apart from SCB have a branch there and the letter and deposit/withdrawal to show activity and balance update can all be done at same time.

Your permission of stay would be in your pp. What do you mean "they asked to show visa status. In any event what's the issue. Perhaps as it involved money transfer. What's the big deal.

https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131 That's the link. Normally you would do it in advance more than what you plan. Be aware that you will receive an email to confirm your appointment and you need to have hard copy print out. That can be done on lower level of CW. I posted picture of photocopy place earlier in thread. If you use appointment note that you do NOT attend que ticket desk. Walk past that into where all the io desks are. There is a doc check at the start of the desks Be at least 20 mins early as the appointments run on time and often you are seen early. They do not call your name/number.

There is a saying along the lines.. "The definition of insanity is doing same thing over and over and expecting a different result". The OP was foolish to attempt same plan. Go to international airport and settle overstay and leave Not rocket science.

Your experience does not match the vast reports of getting to CW VERY early to que in long line for number. #8 ridiculous. Initially it was only retirement. Now changed The photo was for readers information. Many are unaware of that it's available. In actually fact my last extension in November, I hardly said a word. The bank clerk knew exactly what I required. The photo copier is just behind her and I could see she was about to photocopy all my bb pages. I had to ask her to only do the last page. You joined 5 hours ago. Now on ignore.

Perhaps they have a limit. Perhaps they include pp history. In any event the OP who posted "urgent" has not contributed and not been online for 4 hours. Hopefully making plans to travel to airport to settle overstay. Thinking one plan suggested by @BritTim earlier made lot of sense.

First up go by skatewash suggestion. Not sure why some immigration offices even concern themselves with 90 day reports when you apply for extension. I assume that they think it's helpful. It's not imo.

You are so wrong in every sentence I make sure I photocopy all the pages of my bank book. I need to point out to staff that only require updated page. Always done with good manners. I also have done many extensions and have never had issue with long time required at the bank. I never require machine to update bb You were not even aware of the appointment system and recommend obtaining que # early etc etc. Folk are welcome to use photocopy service located on same level as the banks. Pic attached.

First up there is an appointment system and works a treat. Secondly the bank will make a photocopy of you last page of bank book after you make the deposit. Just ask them. The letter takes virtually zero extra time.

Exactly. I opened my Kasikorn at local mall and every year obtain the bank letter at CW. I give the lady 200 baht. 100 baht to deposit into the account and 100 baht for bank letter. This covers "activity" in the account and bank letter matching balance on day of application. Be aware that you can make appointment for extension. I like to have appointment about 10.30am and arriving at ~9am allows heaps of time for letter.

Why didn't they "let you out" 3 weeks ago as at that time you were not on overstay.

My understanding is that not all land border crossings accept overstay payments.

Just to be clear...... She is flying with a tourist VISA and not visa exempt entry?

This thread may offer some advice.

Yes, I returned last Tues . Had my vax info etc. Nothing required. BTW hand over passport AND boarding pass for her flight into Thailand.

My most recent extension was November at CW. Lease not asked for (had it with me) however 90 day report receipt was required (not required previously) This time they wanted bank statements (money in bank method retirement) previously bank book pages sufficient. A written set list of requirements for all dealings with immigration would be a godsend. Sadly with approx 75 imm offices there might be 75 different lists.

If you have something like a flight out of the country then immigration may allow you to do your extension earlier than the 30/45 days.

I notice that CW are now asking for 90 day report at document check. This was previously not the norm. I assume they are using that as address confirmation.

Arriving on a tourist visa an onward flight would not be required. Either from airline at departure or immigration on arrival.

Yes

There are many folk using income method from a non O based on retirement. Including those from countries embassies that do not provide income letter.

Japan is a fantastic country. We visit 2-3 times per year Think comparison to Thailand is slightly silly. BTW my Thai partner receives 15 day visa exempt entry to Japan. Anyway done with this off topic chat.

Yes my post was not clear. 800k in bank on day of application for the non O retirement visa

You need to register so use second link. They will send you a password via email that you provide. You can then change that password to something more suitable.

The hotel will give you a screenshot of the TM30 however you need to ask them for it. When checking in at hotel make sure to confirm that they do make TM30 reports. If they do not then find another hotel. The TM7 form is the actual form for the extension. It requires a photo. Cost 1900 baht for extension.
