Greetings to all you visa agents processing a single country single passport issued farang application

 

Wish to introduce a dual country dual passport citizen of two countries farang visa application problem

 

Ok one passport Immigration temporary rubber stamp visa inside one country passport but not inside the

other country passport. Immigration offer one country passport entry paper rubber stamp visa not two and

today Immigration is the GOD LAW of rubber stamp passport demanded to identify a bank account

 

So what and why bother with DUAL passport paper rubber stamps? Some lucky people have a pension

government issued from their country passport identity direct deposited to their Thailand bank account

that was open demanded by Immigration visa rubber stamp just to open the passport identity account

 

What I am talking about is if you do not have a rubber stamp retirement visa all the banks in Pattaya refuse

today to open a bank account. You can not even open a ATM DEBIT account that is cash deposit secured insured in all banks! zero theft or loss to a bank! In the past you deposited cash and was given a ATM account

number ATM DEBIT card that was charged user fees and maintenance fees and closed if you spent all the cash

TODAY all has changed under word of mouth un documented  extensions of  Immigration bank visa demands

 

The Immigration Visa retirement stamp has been out of control ever since some criminals borrowed money to prove financial responsibility and forged one year retirement stamp.  Immigration started to lock up all bank accounts to lock down bank money before and after receiving a retirement stamp renewal.   extended  out

where the bank book update  print out is not enough Immigration want 399 Baht letter of proof from the bank attached to bank book print out every year and so locked up your bank  cash bank account number deposit....

 

This is not a bank account issue this is a Immigration visa issue because nobody has educated all the bank

branches that a separated isolated cash deposited insured ATM DEBIT card has nothing to do with Immigration

rubber stamps policy. There should be no logical reason why only retirement identification stamp can open a bank account.  DEBIT ATM is a cash secured deposited ATM service DEBIT card profit, 

 

Some farangs with Thai relatives get CREDIT but Farangs do not get CREDIT cards unless they have a  pay check backed up sponsor or a business or a collateral every farang is treated as  an expired  DEBIT ATM  card with

available bank cash secured  account No threat to Thai banks and nothing to do with Immigration unless you

are one farang who locks up 800,000 Baht secured 3 months before and three months after Immigration rubber stamp inside your ATM DEBIT card? .

 

DO NOT  MOVE TO BANKING  because in order to open a RETIREMENT Immigration bank  account 3 months before and 3 months after the retirement TM7 visa rubber  application you must have a rubber stamp in your

passport. The word of mouth rumors was twisted by Thailand bank branches no rubber stamp no bank acount

 

So can you Immigration visa experts re educate and inform and instruct Thailand Immigration to stop spreading

non documented non legal laws to open a cash deposited cash secured DEBIT ATM bank account for use

traveling and buying Thailand business services using a ATM DEBIT card no loss to any bank charging fees

to service an ATM DEBIT card.

 

ATM DEBIT cash tool travel card has nothing to do with Immigration rubber stamps an d should allow a dual passport citizen to receive retirement pension every month from a ATM DEBIT bank account opened with a

second other country  passport having no rubber stamp.  Why the hell not both passports describe identical

bio metric integrated circuit facial date of birth place of birth etc data but only one has a rubber retirement stamp

so the Thai banks refuse to open a bank account having no visa on same human identity

 

Digest all this before jumping around it is an isolated problem and up to the visa experts to educate massage

the word of mouth under educated legal minds of  Thailand bank branches following non documented word of

mouth rumors spread from distorted false  never regulated loose  evidence rumors

 

The bottom line to all this rambling is there a visa agent expert who can verify

a second passport of a dual citizen with two passport so that the passport with no rubber visa stamp can open a ATM DEBIT bank account?

The bottom line of your long and rambling post is that it is difficult to open a bank account unless you have a long term visa/extension. It has become steadily more difficult over the last few years, and is nothing to do with any actions by Immigration.

 

The easiest way to resolve this is to use an agent. Alternatively, a bank branch may be motivated to help you if you are accompanied by an existing respected bank customer, especially if you make clear that you intend making a substantial deposit. Finally, at a few branches, offering to buy a cheap Accident Insurance policy (about 3,000 baht or so) if they allow you to open an account will do the trick. The bank staff get a small commission when you do this.

the easiest way to open a bank account without bogus insurance is go to a farang friendly branch such as Bangkok Bank 2nd road near top of soi 6

extension is 1,900, bank needs a cut, agent needs a cut, Immigration take a big cut, shared amongst staff

I'd be happy to give a 1900+ handling charges fee directly to the Immigration officer and staff but why do I need an agent? Huh?

you can go direct but about the same price as using an agent, agents are friendlier

But if you go direct, you have to have 800K baht money in the bank for a year, not like when (to use your words) the "bank needs a cut" to say the money was in the bank for a year when it was really only in the bank for nanoseconds.

[exant]

Interesting comment can not be done ? ?

The subhject focused on breaking up un documented powers of a rubber

paper stamp as the supreme Immigration control over a DEBIT cash secured

bank account.

 

Why is a cash deposit insured ATM card the property of Immigration rubber stamp passport? Do you assume people have only RETIREMENT VISA purpose to open a ATM DEBIT card account. The card is a tool to purchase air ticket, restaurant food, gasoline, taxi, etc traveling services from Thailand business people paid from a DEBIT cash deposited bank account instead of carrying a paper bag full pf paper money traveling Thailand..  Why does

Immigration jas total control and ownership over a DEBIT card account?

 

Perhaps you can elaborate and explain how criminals can take advantage

of a DEBIT cash deposited account having no Immigration rubber stamp ownership and control over the account? Please elaborate what or how

can a cash insred ATM DEBIT card account is a national security threat or

a criminal theft trouble to a bank account insured by the cash deposit?

I am going to back-off on this because, at least so far, I have never used or needed to use an agent.

 

But I also have never read that in Pattaya, or anywhere else, you can walk into an IMM office with only your passport, 12000 baht or so, and nothing else in your hand and walk out with a one-year extension based upon retirement.

Already tried them, they said no (more specifically - they would not do it at my IO, only send my passport to some other province. I need to have it done at the province where I live.)

The Immigration visa renewal has categorized renewal forms that are filed

at time of each application.

 

The forms can be downloaded for each and every category of application renewal has a form you must file.

 

The basic additional identification documents are restricted for long term

retirement visa category under TM30 residence filed address / rental

contract and a 800,000 bank account 3 months before and three months after passport stamp double bank account letter and account book verified

to prove financial responsibility. Immigration locked bank accounts after criminals borrowed money for one day in order to get a forged  retirement stamp under false bank account.

 

If you have 800,000 bank book and letter verified account all you need is

proof of your resident address, copy last passport visa, photograph,  phone number and TM7 form data filed with 1900 Baht paid to Immigration during the application.  Immigration always ask for more photo copy during interview because they use the extra paper copies to check off entries so

get more copies. 

 

If you are late with date of application or overstay passport dated visa

that is another trouble a passport visa agent may help you with or may not

help you with, In this case it is up to the Immigration office to decide what

to do amd how much penalty you must pay up to 22,000 Baht at the airport

but this is another story.

 

Other visa extensions category require a proof of where is your Thailand

term resident address.  

 

If you are qualified retired and approved USA Social Security Pension to

be deposited every month into your bank account you must open a bank account having a Immigration rubber stamp passport then file a form

attached here.
