The letter isn't about proof of funds received, it confirms ownership of a back account and the balance on the day you apply at Immigration. I lump the rules because I can't change them, but neither you nor anyone else can prevent me from saying what I'd like. Thanks.

In ten years I have never been asked to provide this. You set yourself up as some kind of expert here, it's ridiculous.

I know the facts. It's also a fact that monthly bank credit notes and bank proof of your ownership of that account should be clearly sufficient. The fact that it isn't is my gripe. Don't say again that it is what it is. I'm aware of that.

Snarky reply from you but as I said, the requirement is to bring in X amount of foreign income every month, which is proven by bank monthly credit notes. Nothing else. Not how much money I have in my bank account on any given day of the year.

I didn't say these things aren't demanded by Immigration, I said they should be unnecessary for the yearly O/A visa, trip to Immigration. Bank stamped monthly inward income credit notes and bank book should be quite sufficient. That's what I said. The fact that Immigration demand to know my current bank balance antmy yearly expenditure is an invasion of privacy. You bring the money in, that's all they should need to have proven.

I didn't say these things, aren't demanded by Immigration, I said they should be unnecessary. Income credit statements and bank book should be quite sufficient.

No. This is the requirement from Hua Hin Immigration for a visa extention in country. Not a 'new' visa, who said that?. I never use an agent.

I said the law does not require anything more than bank proof of sufficient overseas income. I did not say immigration don't require it, even though it does nothing to prove what you already proved with the income credit notes. Do you understand now? Similarly, Immigration 'may' require 12 months bank statements. Why? Not even standardised across Thailand for heaven's sake.

I can't agree. I take the monthly foreign income credit notes stamped by my bank, that's all that the law requires. Why should I have to disclose my bank account balance on the date of visa renewal, and also pay for a letter from the bank confirming it? Why should the bank want to peruse my whole 12 months bank statements? My visa requirement is only about bringing in a certain amount of foreign currency every month, nothing else.

Weirdly yesterday Krungsri raised mine to 1,000,000. I quickly changed it back down to something in line with my needs, in low six figures.

Or even food shopping wearing only tiny black trunks. Phuket will be half empty.

I 'liked' your original post and 'disliked' this one. Cojones? Attitude problem much?

This has anyways driven my crazy with hsbc, no screenshots allowed. Krungsri don't allow but send copies of transfers to your photo gallery, reasonable compromise.

My dvd from Bumrungrad Hospital included a copy of the program to view it on my PC. If I haven't been given a dvd copy of any scan from BKK Hospital or Bumrungrad they have always provided it afterwards on request free of charge.
