Marriage Visa Extension - Question About Bank Book Requirement

Featured Replies

For this year's marriage visa extension, I opened an e-savings account from SCB because they offer a higher interest rate for my 400K. However, they don't offer a physical bank book. My guess is that SCB will print out a statement with their stamp as a guarantee in lieu of the bank book. My question is, has anyone here gone this route recently? Is this acceptable? My extension will be done at Chonburi immigration in Jomtien.   

You will need a bank statement showing 400k baht has been in the bank for at least 2 months.

They may not like you not having a bank book since they might not be aware that accounts without one exists.

Thanks ubonjoe. My thoughts are the same. I'm hoping someone as successfully done it with an e-saving account. Most banks have them now. Either way, I can do the income method if needed. 

Normally what they have asked for is an update of the book showing a deposit/withdrawal transaction on the day you go to immigration to show that the account is active. These no book accounts could be a problem. I think immigration will have to look at this requirement as there are more expats starting to use these no book bank accounts.
