Question re 800k for extension of retirement visa.

[tropicaldoc]

I assume that two separate saving accounts can be used to satisfy the 800k requirement for the retirement visa?  Primary savings account used for extensions in the past fell below 800K for a couple of days recently, but have another savings account which would cover that discrepancy.   

[DrJack54]

Are the accounts with the same bank? 

You can certainly use two accounts. 

[tropicaldoc]

Two separate banks.  Kbank and SCB bank.  Both just saving accounts with passbooks.

[Jingthing]

It should be accepted but it would be a more complicated application which is best avoided if possible.

Personally I use two accounts, however same bank.

Of course you will require 2 bank letters etc.

Which immigration office do you deal with.

Why?

[tropicaldoc]

Office used is Chaengwattana (Div.1).  "2 bank letters, etc." in addition would bank statements and copies of  saving books be useful too?

[tropicaldoc]

To answer "why"  one bank savings account was used only for extensions and for emergency if needed while the other was for routine day to day use.

That's why I asked which imm office. Some offices insist upon statements.

CW does not. 

Also unless your with SCB you could obtain the bank letters and make small deposit into accounts. The banks are located on lower level CW. 

Photocopies of bank book pages from previous extension required.

Make sure you attend earlier enough prior to expiry of permit to obtain statements if for some reason required.

Should be fine.

Please report back with outcome.

It's not uncommon for someone to have a dedicated account for the 800k and due to error and falling below the 800k or later below the 400k, ask about using and additional bank account.

Yes. Going back the full year.

And take a calculator with you. Never give the suckers an even break.

[Jingthing]

This would not be required but if I was to do a multiple account application I would prepare a composite summary sheet of transactions.

 

In other words for each transaction on both accounts I would include a dated entry with the account composite balance. 

 

Then the IO could just eyeball that summary sheet to see you were in compliance for the entire year for balance levels.

 

If either account had a massive number of transactions that would be too much work though. Also if doing that it would be important for the sums to be accurate.

You mean a phone?

Should be ok but why complicate things and give them an excuse to turn you down?
