roger101 377 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Does it still take a week to order and pick up a 12 month bank statement from Bangkok Bank (for visa extension) ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 11883 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Believe they still want at least 5 workdays to obtain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can sometimes take a few days longer if cross-provincial. If, for instance your home branch where you opened your original account is in Chang Mai and you are applying at a branch in Pattaya but even then, usually 5 days. Timing can be tricky because Jomtien Immigration told me the statement could not be more than 3 working days old so if you have any doubt, check with Bangkok Bank in advance.

Pawpcorn 125 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) If it's a different branch than where you are at, requesting the 1 year's statement... it's 7 days AFTER you request and pay for the statement. Side note is that TH Immigration will need to see you THAT SAME DAY YOU PICK UP THE STATEMENT (for reasons I've never quite fathomed) Edited May 15 by Pawpcorn Typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know they have strange rules but that seems very strange as a statement is for a set period of time which only needs to cover the last 12 months of deposits and is normally more than 3 days old when provided as local branch just provides what they are sent from Hqs. The current bank balance is another letter from branch and indeed that is time sensitive, needing to be same day in Bangkok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie 53891 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I don't know why they need a 12 month statement, they already have your bank book with all the details , plus a letter from the bank on the day, to say you have at least 800.000 in the bank, overkill. regards worgeordie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger101 377 Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 I went in yesterday to order a statement (Tuesday). Told to pick it up Friday. That's good I thought. No not this Friday (the 20th) but next Friday the 27th, 8 working days.. Bangkok Bank Central Festival (Beach Road) my home branch. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the slow response, just noticed this today. That same-day rule is in force at Udon Thani's Immigration. I just sort of assumed it was that way everywhere, but perhaps I was wrong.

I think the detailed statement has the details of the exact SOURCE of the income, which Immigration wants to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statement covers the entire period - bank book may not if not updated frequently (consolidated entries). With new regulations on amount in account this becomes an issue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
