Annual Retirement Extension Prep for CW - Bank Passbook

[English Chaai]

I have a cumulative update in my bank passbook, so I have added a printout of my statements from 1 Jan to Nov that includes the gap.

 

Will this suffice?

 

 Any firsthand feedback is appreciated!

Immigration has asked for a one year bank statement if it was not clear you had maintained the required balances for a year in your bank book.

I am due to go to Immigration at the end of the week for an extension of stay. I already have a 12 month statement from Bangkok Bank which I requested through my branch last week. This covers from the date of my last extension granted date (2nd Dec) up to the date of the request for the statement. Then to fill the gap, I will go in the day before going to Hua Hin to obtain the letter and a 6 month statement. I also put the passbook in for an update.

The account I use for the extension is purely for that reason and does not get touched from year to year. Only interest payments and account fees show up. All bases are covered and even though some may think overkill, I have no problems with this routine.

Printouts mean nothing - anyone can make them.  You will almost surly be requested to provide a 1 year official bank statement.  This is a normal requirement now for those using income method if Embassy does not provide income guarantee letter so they know how to read and they are being asked much more often.  If using Bangkok Bank that has to come from Bangkok Hqs and will take a few days so needs to be ordered early.

Update your bank book on the morning you apply at CW. That has been my experience at CW over the last 9 years. Also I personally have always been asked for an up to date bank statement when I do my extension.

 

My last visa update was 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for the feedback. The gap in my passbook covered 3 months, so I knew a statement would be needed. I initially was going to use the statements available from my bank app but will be taking an official bank statement instead.
