Chiangmai bank requirements for non O-A extension of stay

[ryldar]

I’m wondering whether a bank letter is sufficient for extension based on income or does IO require bank statement as well?

Will it be your first extension of stay application?

If not your first extension and using the money in the bank option you would only need copies of your updated bank book.

If not the first application you will need a bank statement to prove you maintained 800k baht in the bank for 3 months after you applied for your current extension and then after that kept 400k baht in the bank until you topped your account 2 months before you will apply for a new one.

He said that it would be an "extension based on income", not money in the bank.

Not enough coffee yet.

He will need one year of proof that he transferred at least 65k baht into the bank for 12 months from abroad.

It think CM immigration will accept either a one year bank statement from the bank or a letter detailing the transfers and then a letter confirming his account.

Thank you both for your quick replies ... last year I recall just a bank letter but wasn’t sure if anything changed this year ... so you’re suggesting 2 bank letters?

What bank?

Bangkok Bank, Central airport branch

Bangkok bank provided me with reams of headed paper transactions for the whole year last year. All CM Imm want is to see the FTT transfers at least once a month showing at least 65k every month.  

 

If those FTT transactions could be condensed into a statement headed letter, that should be sufficient. BKK Airport branch should be able to arrange that. But might take a few days as they need Head Office to provide it. 

 

IMO, it's a flipping paper roundabout every freaking year.

LOL, I agree wholeheartedly regarding the paperwork issue ... reams of paper to add to the stacks of paper that are perhaps never looked at again. Thanks for the reply & will go today to initiate the process ... I'm due on 16 Dec to extend visa so hopefully going today will provide the time needed.
