Bank Letter: This is simple statement that verifies you as owner of the account and balance at time of issue. Cost 100b 2. Financial Compliance: For extensions immigration want to see all transactions for previous 12 months. Some offices accept the bankbook + photocopies of pages. Some require a 12 month bank statement. Cost 200b Both items 1 & 2 have validity of 7 days so can be obtained prior to attending for extension. I do mine the day prior. Note some immigration offices also want to see activity on day of application and updated bankbook. A small deposit (100b) satisfies this

One is a simple bank letter. The other 12 month bank statement. The bank letter just shows ownership of the account and the 12 month statement shows financial compliance.
April 23, 2025Apr 23 The bank that you deal with will know what you mean if you just ask for a bank letter for immigration. I always ask for a 12 month statement as well so there is no doubt at immigration.

It takes from three days to about a week to get it. It costs 200 baht; while a 3-6 month statement issued by the branch office costs 100 baht.

April 24, 2025Apr 24 Jomtien immigration wouldn’t accept the statement showing the balance throughout the year. He just made copies of each page of my bank book for the past year. Waste of money at the bank. All I needed was the bank certification letter. I’m sure it can change depending on the day and who’s doing it.
April 24, 2025Apr 24 That's a Bangkok Bank account letter confirming account holder/type and balance from 2022. (I change to income since 2023) It's an A4 paper, on the bottom is stamp and signature.

I simply get me three statements from the branch covering the year seamlessly. At Bangkok Bank you can only determine start date, end date is always day before applying So it's close to impossible to get fine monthly statements from first to last day of month. Request a statement in Thai language. It's a different world.

I'm staying on extension of stay based on retirement, and the immigration office that extends my stay every year asks for three month bank statement... However, if you use the monthly transfer of minimum 65,000 baht method, you need statements for all previous 12 months...

Yeah, but with the greatest of respect, it's been pointed out before your IO is somewhat of a rogue office. A 3-month statement does not comply with the written orders which requires the 800K funds to remain for 3 months after the extension is granted, then 400K for 7 months. Just 3 months prior to submission was the old-written requirement. Don't they also still request a 'Health Certificate' which was dropped by almost all IO's several years ago.

And that is why you need to show copies all pages in your bankbook to prove that you had the correct funds during the past year. The 3 month is for statement, the fund deposit is 2 month prior to application for one year's extension of stay; i.e., 800k baht 3 month after granted extension of stay and again 2 month before next application, and in between not less than 400k baht. And yes, we old grumpy retired folk indeed needs to show a health statement – this is party island and the immigration have to make sure that we are healthy enough to survive for another year's Full Moon Parties...
