rutteketuut Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Can I get a bank letter for proof of 800k baht in another Bangkok Bank branch than where I opened my bank account? I have to extend in Jomtien. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Yes. Be aware that if your bank account has many transactions that immigration may require bank statements. Is this first extension or ongoing extension. Edited April 18, 2022 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At CW bank statements are not required when have a dedicated bank account for immigration purposes. Only photocopy of bb is required. Jomtien can be weird, just attend early enough to allow for request of bank statement. Of course should not be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) And as usual first ask for book update (can be done at the counter without transaction at BKB) and then let the letter be printed. Do they ask for source of daily expense at Pattaya immigration in this case (fixed deposit, no transactions)? Happened to a mate elsewhere.

chilly07 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Always a good idea at Jomtien to have evidence of source of funds especially if you are applying for a retirement extension. I'm on marriage extension and always take evidence of pensions and tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 For Jomtien! I take my bank book make a deposit once updated I request immigration letter for 100 baht, the letter will state the balance only. Once done I take my book to a xerox shop and make copies of all the pages but I only submit last page that show recent year of transaction if any. I keep the other pages if any for my record. I submit the last page with the letter make sure to sign all pages being submitted. My letter is usually obtain 3pm the day before everything noted never have had a problem at Jomtien.

Great idea, to copy your own bank statements, saves waiting 7 days, and paying the bank 200 baht, but Jomtien often change exactly how they require it to be done..

My Bangkok Bank account in Chiang Mai has the 800K baht which I leave untouched for extensions. The last two years, I have done my retirement extensions in Chiang Rai, and got the bank letter from Bangkok Bank's Chiang Rai branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got it wrong I use the 800,000 method " my own statement not saving 7 days nor do I pay 200 " see I have copies of all my pages of my book but I copy and turn in the last page which will show if I have follow the 2 before and 3 after I enclose this page since they ask to see my bankbook once because the bank verification letter I get only states the current balance that I have which should show min 800,000. Last 3 years at the desk tops 10 mins this year I was 2nd, lady ran through everything stop at the bank letter hesitated flip the page and bang smile last page of book questioned answered without ever asking out the door 8:50 am.

pjmorton Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Someone please explain how to get bank statements. I have passbook accounts at 3 different Thai banks and have never recieved a mailed bank statement on any of them in 17 years. Are you logging into a website and downloading these statements, or applying for them on an ad hoc basis? I do get credit card statements but that is irrelevant for immigration purposes.

gilo Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 So just to clarify. The bank letter can be up to 7 days before the appointment and can be ordered at any (in my case Bangkok Bank) but that may involve some time for it to be issued and payment for that is 100. A further statement showing all transactions for the previous 12 months is a separate requirement, and again ordered at the branch? The bank book should be updated on the date of the appointment for the extension? Would the Bangkok Bank at CW be able to handle all of these requirements "on the spot" if I went there sufficiently prior to the appointment time? Many thanks.

At CW Bangkok Bank can provide you bank letter on the spot. I suggest you attend the branch at CW on day of appointment and make small deposit (100b) along with bank letter (100b). For Bangkok Bank they require days to provide 12 month bank statements. Suggest you do that separately a week prior. The banks at CW are on lower level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
