You need the complete record over 3 month. But for a FD account that is it, other than maturity dates, nothing to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good advice even if they tell you the 90-day-bankbook check is not necessary in a specific immigration. Who knows if tomorrow counts what they tell you today. And it should be easy to handle. Costs you five minutes in your bank before going to the immigration office. The real question in this case is what will happen if you are on travel when you actually should do your 90-days report. I will try to find out next week if you have to show up to immigration immediately after your return from abroad. That would really piss me on.

I must be getting old because I'd swear there was a message in the beginning of this forum to please list the name of the office you went to about the information - as that would make it easier on all of us to prepare for our encounters at immigration. But it seems to have disappeared. Now there is only a request about nationality and age information. Or maybe I'm just getting old and misremembered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 24, I fly Osaka mid afternoon. etc etc. When the "F" do I take bank book to imm. Most of my year is similar. Retirement does not mean living in boom docks village for the year.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 7 hours ago, DrJack54 said: None of it is unclear. Again thanks for update. Especially as I use CW. This is what I expected especially at CW. As I have mentioned in many threads I have never been to imm except for extension (date somewhat flexible). Need to show bankbook at imm would be a nightmare for some. Some of the posts mention 90 day reports because some imm offices are doing crazy stuff. Not unusual. The other thing about 90 day reports for those who use CW Immigration in BKK is it's usually easy to use their online website reporting method, which thus erases any need to actually show up again in person every 90 days and make the trip out to CW. There's never been ANY indication that I've seen or heard that BKK Immigration -- for bank deposit retirement extensions -- was going to do anything other than check and verify compliance when the next year's extension application came due. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all agree that Thai imm on in particular occasion regarding new "money in bank" requirements have caused so much worry etc for xpats using that method. It would be lovely to have clear precise release from Thai imm EXACTLY what they require. Sadly even if they did....we all know some imm offices would make up own rules. Maybe Jomtien an example.

mokwit Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 If a visa is refused e.g. if it went below 400k in the past year do the Immigration laws allow for the IO to give more than the 7 days normally given on refusal? Could be you have 7 days to get out of the country and reentering 'fortress Thailand' could be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would refuse to accept you application which would allow you to stay until your extension ends. If you wanted the extra 7 days you would have to apply for the extension, pay 1900 baht and be granted 7 days to leave the country after it is denied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If possible that you don't have to show the money at 90 days ( depending on IO or your local Imm', ) go through the year doing 90 reports on line/by post. Near the end of the year leave to Cambo/Vietnam get a visa to stay long term, stay for 4/5/6 weeks, if you can, decide you don't like and forget to get a re-entry permit. Extension is gone so start again applying for a new extension. Edited March 10, 2019 by overherebc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
