Today I fulfilled my retirement extension 90 day 800K Baht obligation-i.e letter from my bank confirming that the 800K Baht was still there.

Necessary photo copies supplied.

I asked the lady (desk 8 Jomtien) for some kind of evidence that  I had fulfilled my obligations.

Not available -came the reply.

 

Does any  reader have a different experience i.e evidence supplied to them.

I feel that  I am being set up!

 

Maybe ask them to sign and date one of the copies?

Doesn't you new 90-day report slip evidence enough?  If you didn't meet the requirements they wouldn't have given you a new slip, would they?

The report he did has nothing to do with 90 day reporting.

I don't think it is a 90 day report. It is a bank balance check after getting a new 1 year visa. Jomtien requires it. 

I don't recall any report of somebody getting an acknowledgement for doing the bank balance check.

Thanks for that.  So the 90-day B800k-still-in-the-bank-report that the OP referred to is in addition to the normal retirement extension 90-day report that some offices also need money-in-the-bank confirmation for?  Is that correct?

I was not given anything either when i did mine at Jomtien

Your pass book from bank is YOUR ultimate proof you had the money at that date , of course no proof you reported at that date ….but anyway....I updated at the bank and extra let them make a 3 month's statement , 100 baht worth I find !

I just did mine 25 nov. . they checked if all doc. where there , but had even not an eye for my open passport page, kept almost under the nose of the outboard desk sitting, very efficient Indian Thai looking officer, at Jomtien immigration. A 2 minutes job, no ticket given even just go desk  8 ,and wave their 90 day bank check document and they take your documents , even people in front or not for their ret. ext. waiting...

I have the impression they even don't like that extra  job , and guess the final control is done at your new ret. ext. date

There is no normal check with 90 day reporting. Only a few odd offices want it.

It is a one time check at Jomtien.

 Yes it is an addition .

However it only applies if you use the 800K Baht in the bank  option. There are other options.

The 800K Baht option is 800K Baht for 2 months prior to application and 90 days after a successful application. 800K has to be in your bank for that amount of time total. You have to show evidence (letter from your bank) on both occasions.

Now I have no evidence that I supplied the 90 day letter.

I do not trust immigration-that is my problem .

Sorry, I still don't understand that, the OP said..."Today I fulfilled my retirement extension 90 day 800K Baht obligation...".  He did his at Jomtien and called it his 90-day money report, that suggests that it was a 90-day requirement, doesn't it?

Relax. There have been reports that these 3 month check on the 800k have been very casual. No receipt etc. Absolute opposite to when you do your extensions and all the docs are sorted like a high court appearance.

The proof your looking for is in your bank book. It proves all. That's why all the normal...ish imm offices do not require 3 month check.

What is not to understand? He applied for a one year extension. They asked him to report back to verify that his bank balance had a minimum of 800,000 baht for the 3 months since his extension. He did that. Now he is finished but he is worried that he has no proof that he visited the office for the bank balance verification. And . . . once again. It has nothing to do with 90-day reports which you do every time you remain in the country for a continuous 90 days.

On reflection my activity today can have 2 outcomes:-

 

1) I am being set up

or

2 Apathy at immigration

 

Option 2 makes more sense.

 

For the system to work fully immigration would need to keep an ‘account’ for me(and all other applicants).

The evidence that I supplied would need to stored electronically or in a hanging file with my name on it.

How else can they connect todays input with future extension applications.

 

A bureaucratic  nightmare for them.

 

Suspect that they will simply store my input for a few days -then throw it all away.

 

The minimum ‘400K Baht still in bank next application time’ will be simple for them

Your bank book will always prove that you met the financial requirements. Another thought, you can always take a selfie to document that you were at the office on that day.

Maybe a selfie with  person who checked it with passbook in hand?

Given this why bother having to go to immigration after 90 days

Bank books could do the lot i.e Beginning -90 days and End.

it may go that way over time.

He said he showed the money was still in the bank to someone at the retirement extension desk. They don't have anything to do with the regular 90 day reports that are done by everyone who stays in the country 90 or more days.

Seen a lot of people taking selfies with an immigration officer at his/her desk have you?

It's probably a rule the officers already see as pointless, like the social media survey they were required to collect a few years. That one they made a point of tossing in a pile behind their desk without bothering to even check it.

Lady at desk 8 is a jobs worth

She is rude and should  be in uniform  but she not wear it

Because  she is a lower rank than the ones that do

Sounds like you are intentionally hassling immigration... and some people here wonder why immigration officers might be cranky... 

I asked for the same. ie stamp/ note in passport. Immigration said not required they will put data into their system later. Shouldn’t be a problem anyway as they can check next time you get your extension renewed. Wouldn’t worry about it.

I must be lucky then as never been rude with me..........

Your slip showing your next 90 day date is your receipt you met it

The one time check at Jomitine is not done when your 90 day report is due. There is no relationship between the 2.

You mean the way it is done in Bangkok CW? and just about every other Immigration office?

The 90 days report has nothing to do with the 90 days check for the 800k in the bank.

Which immigration office checks the money in the bank when doing the 90 days report?
