I argued that , told them if they were going to change something that has been acceptable for the last umpteen years.....

That's crazy. 

So what's the plan now.

All I can think of is a border bounce without reentry permit, enter visa exempt and start over. 

Clearly you are not married to a Thai. 

You have another plan? 

 

Talk about being screwed over. 

That's just ridiculous stance from immigration. 

 

In hindsight applying earlier would have been best. However that comment not helping now.

Damn

I did apply a little bit earlier , so I will only be 2 or 3 days past my expiry date , which they said if I was willing to pay a 500 baht a day fine , they will accept it....Rather decent of him wasn't it , barsteward.

That was my other suggestion.

It's more common than some would imagine that immigration in various situations "accept" you go into overstay to deal with issue as per your current situation.

They will still place the overstay stamp in pp, however this would be best option. 

Good luck

What sort of time limit are you allowed between the last day of your statement and the day you do your extension. Is 7 days acceptable ?

Immigration is supposed to accept up to 7 days prior for bank statements

Go onto the Bkk Bank APP, at the bottom right is More Services, Request Account Statement, Account, Time Period, Language, Submit.

The Statement will be emailed to your registered account with an Attachment which is locked until you put your DoB in, ddmmyyyy, and it should take less than an hour. Print it out, and show the IO that it came directly from Bkk Bank. He may accept it.

What  is the bank charge for that?

I have just been knocked back over the Passbook copy etc. Ratchaburi's new boss insists that the years bank statement is used.

As i am in Bkk Bank that causes problems, as the 1 year statement takes 7 or 8 days.

Is there anybody using a friendly bank that will give you a years statement on the spot ?

 

When I was on a Type-O I switched from Bangkok Bank to Krungsri, where Krungsri would issue the paperwork on the spot.  To avoid complications, I had the 800k seasoned in Krungsri for a year prior to switching from Bangkok Bank to Krungsri, ... but I suspect it must be possible to switch without doing such (for someone who does not have the extra funds).

 

There are good things about Bangkok Bank, but for one who lives in Phuket, issuing the paperwork quickly (needed for proof of the 800K THB in one's Bangkok bank account) is not one of their good things. They (Bangkok Bank) are slow in doing that.

Nothing, but possibly (probably) not accepted as no bank stamp/signature on it.

Bangkok bank mobile app lets you download a 1 year statement instantly.

Found this out when immigration officer at Map Ta Phut requested it and BKK Bank said will take 7 days.

Went back to immigration and the lady showed me how to download a statement , emailed it to her and she printed it off for me.

So first hand account of immigration accepting a downloaded statement.

Was this 12 month statement for annual extension? 

Can't see many other offices accepting that.

Use your BKK bank app on your phone to request the statements you need. (You cannot do it from your computer). You'll get the PDF from the bank on your computer via email. You can then print it out, IO here said I can use it if BKK bank puts their stamp on. The bank has no problem doing that as long as it's yours.

And have you personally done that and taken it to a bank and they stamp and teller signs stamp and immigration accepts that? 

Which immigration office?

I do not imagine that download from banking app would be acceptable regardless of type of account. 

 

Thread discussing app statement download acceptable to immigration for extension.

I have a fixed deposit at Krungsri and I can print a 12 month statement from my App (note I get the interest on 20th of every month so account has movement)
