Financial requirements for NON -O

[Tingnongnoi]

Hi I am looking to extend 3 month NON-O based on marriage and am unsure of the requirements financially. I know it is 400,000 in a Thai bank for no less than 2 months, but what letter is required from your bank and how long does it usually take to get the letter? Thanks for any replies

The letter is done on the spot.

Just a statement that you own the account and balance. 

Here is an example.

There is just one further caution on the financial proof. You need to show an up to date bankbook. If, over the last two months, some of the transactions are in summary form only (not itemized) it is possible that Immigration may want to see a two-month bank statement. With some banks, this may not be available same day if your account is based in branch in a different province.

It are actually TWO statements that you need:

#1 - Bank Account Statement > Statement issued by the bank that you are the owner of the Bank-account, as well as the Balance that account shows.  That Bank Account Statement can be issued on the spot by your bank.

#2 - Bank Transaction Statement > A document issued by the bank showing the transactions that were done on that Bank Account, such that Immigration can see that the balance has never been under 400K in the two months preceding the issue of that document.  The info on that Bank Transaction Statement is same as on your updated Passbook.

Note that it is customary to do a small transaction on the Account, when going to the Bank, and after that requesting the Bank to provide you with both Statements.  And then go to Immigration with the Bank documents issued on that same day. 

By doing that small transaction, the Bank Account Statement will feature the latest status, and it is also featured on your updated Bank Pass-book. 

The possible "problem" now is that if you have a Fixed Deposit Account where you kept the +400K, that the balance on the Bank Transaction Statement might not yet feature that last transaction you did (because at many Banks the FD Account balances are only updated overnight).  However - as mentioned higher - your Bank Pass-book will feature it, and if you have a sensible Imm Office, even though they might require that Bank Transaction Statement, they will see from your Bank Pass-book that you met the +2 months seasoning requirement of the +400K.  

NOTE: Some Bank branches might have to ask Headquarters to issue that Bank Transaction Statement, and it can take up to 5 days before you get it.  In that case, you need to do the small transaction a couple of days before you plan to go to Immigration.  And then do another small transaction on the day you pick it up, such that your Bank Account Statement and PassBook will be up-to-date on the day you apply at Immigration.

Possible but usually photocopies of bank book pages would be sufficient to show requirements were met.
