Bank Book for retirement Visa

[pattayapip]

Just a heads up, maybe a lot of Guys are aware of this but it caught me off-guard today
I went to my bank and got the letter needed from them saying 800+K in account for over 3 Months
Also had Bank Books updated while there. . . .

 

Off to Chonburi (Pattaya) Immigration I go, only to be told bank book entries no good . .
Because I had not made any transaction in the savings account for a few weeks, the last entry although it showed the correct balance as written in the Bank letter, was over 2 weeks old, not acceptable they say, even though the Bank letter was dated today and had correct balance shown . .

I had to return to the bank, and make a deposit and withdrawal (in and out so as to keep the balance written on Bank letter correct) therefore a transaction was shown on todays date

People may be aware, but I thought this worth mentioning as it was a bit of a pain
Everything accepted fine now that is done, pick up Passport tomorrow.

It has always been like that.

Make a deposit and update bank book on day of application.

Did it last Year and do not remember having to do that, it may just have happened naturally without me noticing
Still worth a mention though i thought . . .

Bangkok Bank updates the bank book without transaction.

SCB doesn't.
