Thanks for that info', DrJack.
Frustrating for me to hear that only Bangkok Bank can't provide a 1 year statement on the spot. Both of my two accounts are with BB!
That is a drag.
Apparently.....as far as I know..... the first time application for a retirement visa/extension (I want to change from marriage to retirement) can be a 2 month statement, with the 1 year statement being required for subsequent extensions.
So maybe I can open an account with Kasikorn, but change to retirement using my BB account, leave it in for 3 months, then move the money into the Kasikorn account, allowing me to get a 1 year statement the same day, without having to wait.
DrJack, may I humbly ask you for your opinion on that possible plan?
PS: Before going to the local branch, are Kasikorn foreigner friendly? Can a falang like me ( retired, no work permit) open an account without too much hassle?
Any help appreciated. 👍
