Bank proof of money in the bank

[CPH]

Does anyone know the name of the paper needed from the bank to proof the 800 k in the bank for retirement extension 

[DrJack54]

Are you referring to "bank letter" to confirm you as owner of account and balance on date of issue? 

Cost 100b

[Upnotover]

Here's one, "Certificate of Balance of Deposit Account"

Statement for the proof of funds.
Letter confirming you as the named account holder.

12 month bank statement provides the evidence you seek.

You are putting 2 things in one mixing bowl. You need.

1. 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

Just mention the yearly bank letter for immigration they will know what you are talking about

It would seem the OP is asking about 2 different documents.

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.

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.

[Brick Top]

The official name for that letter is called " A Bank Guarantee Letter"

And some immigrations asks for 3 month statement for retirement extension.

12-month statement from Bangkok Bank can be ordered in a local branch, but they can only print up to 6 month and need to reorder it from the head office. 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.

Only for the very first extension application based on retirement.

Thereafter, 12 month statements are requested to prove you met the financial requirements since the previous extension was approved.

[CPH]

Thanks a lot for all the replies

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. 

[KhunBENQ]

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.

 

 

[KhunBENQ]

Name in Thai script: หนังสือรับรองยอดเงินฝาก

(năng-sĕu ráp rong yôt ngern fàak)

 

Translates as : certificate of deposit balance.

Google simply says: Deposit Certificate

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.

No, it's depending of the immigration office. 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.
