INANIMATECARBONROD Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Topic. This might sound a bit daft, but I've had 400000 baht in my Thai bank for over 2 months now. My bank can be difficult to get to and takes a long time to wait in queue. It's a real pain all-around, tbh. Can I get my bank statement printed the day before I apply for my visa, or will Thai Immigration only take a bank statement from the same day I apply?

ubonjoe Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Most offices only want to see your bank book updated. Not many want a bank statement. Some offices also want the bank letter done on the same day you apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INANIMATECARBONROD Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Thanks for the prompt reply. Sadly, this office does want a bank letter and bank book update. UPDATE: I was just informed by the immigration officer that the bank statement could be from the previous day (maximum One day previous to date of visa application) but the bank book update had to from the day of the visa application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember them wanting a statement, which I never got from Bangkok Bank in all my years of banking with them. It was very convenient when immigration was in the shopping mall, as I only had to walk across the building to the bank. It's a lot further to Central, now that it's returned to the old location.

UPDATE: I was just informed by the immigration officer that the bank statement could be from the previous day (maximum One day previous to date of visa application) but the bank book update had to from the day of the visa application. I suppose one could get the bank book update done in a cash machine outside the bank, but imagine if the machine didn't give the book back! I always made sure my appointment was after the bank opened. (maximum One day previous to date of visa application) Bit hard to do on a Monday, unless able to get it done at a shopping mall that had your bank open on a weekend. IMO bureaucracy gone mad. If one has a bank book updated within the past week, and no withdrawals, surely one could assume the money was still in it, and even if not, what difference does a day or two make? However, it all fits in with making the process as unfriendly and difficult as possible to complete. Every year I went they introduced some unannounced and unwritten new regulation to make it more frustrating. In the end I just bit the bullet and paid an agent. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomtien Office I did my Extension based on retirement on the 15th May the officer said he would accept a bank Letter and statement valid for three days. My Bank is only in Bangkok does not have a Bank Book. When I went beforehand the week before the same officer said it was only valid for one day ie Get the letter today and its still good for the next day. T.I.T always check beforehand and then use the same officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had letter and bank book update from the day before ( SCB Bank, did it while I waited ), So, I get all extra papers and go back next morning........now, bank letter and book update are two days old. She accepted the Bank letter, telling me that is ok for up to five days, but I had to go and update bank book again........only valid for one day...........I was a good boy, and did not lose my rag once !!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically speaking the bank cannot give you a statment dated the same day, reason you could withdraw the funds later that day, this is for legal reasons. A statment may be given the day before, but as Joe said a withdrawal or deposit on that day is what most immigration offices look for. If you go in with a statment two weeks old and no bankbook update forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandrabbit Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Rayong immigration requires letter + bankbook + atm slip from the same day , what is annoying is that the immigration office opens 8am and the bank at 9:30am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merijn Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Phuket requires updated bank bank book and bank statement with certificate no more then 7 days old as it should be. But all balances (bank book, bank statement and certificate) have t be the same and it is recommended to get those papers as late as possible. (preferable the day before the application) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptic7 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Same old all over the map answers from every which office and officer. Totally inconsistent and incompetent even with their own rules. What is consistent... They really do not trust us devious ne'er-do-wells at all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
