For the information of others.  Just done my 3 month, 800K in the bank check at the Jomtien Office. Required:

 

Copy passport, face page, extension stamp, TM6.

Reporting letter that you were given at your Extension visit (Jomtein Office only it seems)

Copy bank book title page and copy of last entry page with an entry on the due date showing 800K + still in the account.  

Sign them all.

 

Just go to Desk 8, no need to bother reception.  No ticket required, just go to the lady who gives you back the passport after the extension is granted.  I was told that's it, no more need to report the bank balance until the next extension, when the 400K requirement will be checked off.   It all took 5 minutes, no waiting involved.

Interesting, were they expecting you, were you ticked off a list of any sort? Seems to be one of the few offices doing this

No they were not and no I wasn't. so not sure what happens to the paperwork. Neither did I see the lady make any entry in the computer, but she may have done that later.

The last report I read on here from less than two weeks ago also mentioned passport copies - visa/extension/face page/entry stamp/TM6.

 

Same office, different officer more than likely.

A suggestion of retroactive action if you did not comply? Or simply no new extension if you did not comply to the previous one.

Nothing was said about the possible repercussions if the 400K check proved that the balance had fallen past that point during the intervening months.  I guess that it is a given that in those circumstances,  a new Extension would not be granted.

I did not photo copy the original O visa or the latest entry stamp. I probably should have done so, just in case,  if I had thought about it, but I didn't.

Exactly!... That's the question to ask. 

So if someone has a 12 month permission of stay it would be interesting to see how it would be "cancelled". If it simply means you will not be able to get your next extension then you wouldn't bother to go for the 3 month check. Meaning anyone presenting for check has followed new requirement.

I can't see the point. 

Also funny how Jomtien don't require tm30 but require this rubbish. 

You can't make this stuff up.

GG I did my 800k report as per the OP in Jomtien las week. Took less than 5 minutes. The lady checked my paperwork, stapled it together for I assume processing later. I also assume that processing is a simple tick box exercise on the commuter. 

It was no big deal to comply with their wishes.

Thanks for that. I was just about to post asking if a queue ticket was required.

Do they give you anything as proof you made the report?

Assuming you were showing up for regular 90 day reports, they could (in theory) flag you for not confirming bank balance. I'm not saying they would do that or are doing it, but a possibility if they wanted to cancel your extension mid-year.

 

Also ive never done a TM.30 and was never asked for it doing retirement extension, but got a TM.30 this year because I thought some posters said Jomtien required it beginning recently.

No, I was given nothing.

My 90 day report is out of phase with my extension date, so they would have some calculations to do to reconcile the two.  I doubt that they would be bothered to carry out such an exercise,  

I wonder what they do for bank books like mine which cannot be updated? I dare say I will find out later this year.

Surat...I'm in same boat. Never done tm30 in 7 yr report to CW. Now is required..

The 800k check at Jomtien after 3 month is a nonsense. So you turn up and have not maintained the 800k for the 3 months. I ask what would happen? Even the best experts like Ubonjoe might say not sure.

How would an existing permission of stay be cancelled? Just for example ...you obtain your extension of stay. You deal with say Jomtien. Then you decide ..stuff this I'm back home country for visit and will obtain O-A. You don't turn up for nonsense 3 month 800k report. BTW has zero to do with 90 day report. Immigration offices wanting folk report back for show bank book 800k are rouge. About time people challenge their office why its not a requirement at the many other imm office. 

What about the few reports imm office at this or that wanting the 800k 3 months before. That is not the requirement. Its 2 month. 

Question the io and get a f...off look from them.

I understand that it has nothing to do with the 90 day report.

 

I was simply envisioning a scenario where you get an extension using 800k and are given a date 3 months later to show that you have kept 800k or more in the account for 3 months following when the extension was given. 

 

You decide not to bother reporting. The absence of your report back is noted and your "account" is flagged. If you manage to avoid 90 days reports, you;re probably good until and if you show up for the next extension.

 

If you plunder the 800k and if you do appear at the office for a 90 day report at some point later in the year, the 90 day report officer could spot the flag and potentially cancel your current extension.

 

I am NOT saying this will happen or even if it's likely they would manage to connect everything ... I'm just saying if there is any coherent follow-up, a flag could appear whenever you go to immigrations for any reason, the most likely being if you go in to do a 90 day report or if you get a re-entry permit.

 

I fully expect nothing will happen until you go in to renew the extension if you didn't keep the minimums in the account during the year. They will probably find it all a pain in the a$$ and you stand a good chance of avoiding any consequences.

On another thread by UJ he attached the relevant Police Order indicating the 3 month check. Here it is.

This issue might be the only reason not to use agents.

just did my 90 days and TM 30 acknowledgement together, no questions asked about 3 month 400K issue in NongKhai!

i did my retirement again, 14 times.  I have 800k in the bank for three months prior.  Now they changed the rules as you know  and want it to be kept for another 3 months after getting the stamp.  my question is, i went in 3 weeks early for my stamp, always safe than sorry as they change things.  I am waiting for my 90 days after the stamp to show my bank book again.  My question is, can i do it earlier like you can with the extension?   I want to spend some of it instead of bringing in more.  thanks
