Dear,

 

A youtuber from north Issan reported a problem when doing his retirement extension this January 2021.

 

He went to immigration withe the certificate of the bank , it has been refused because the local bank agency can do a certificate for the last 6 months and the immigration ask for a 12 months reporting.

 

The local bank agency had to request the statement from the Bangkok main office and it take 1 week to get it.

 

1 - In Chomburi /Jontien immigration I never had such problem in 2020.

2 - what is the exact rule in 2021 the certificate must show 6 or 12 months

3 - have rule been changed between 2020 and 2021.

thank you for any info.

Best regards

 

 

1. It can vary from office to office. Best to be prepared to show a 12 month bank statement.

2/3. There is no rule for it.

It can take a week to get a one year bank statement at Bangkok Bank at most branches.

Some offices will accept a bank book that has been updated monthly or a least on a regular basis that shows every month of the year.

 

Thank you so much for the info.

Regards

There has been no national rule change. Nothing new that some outlier offices make up their own rules. 

Get an immediate bank statement after 6 months, and another at year end.
