Extension using monthly deposits to Bangkok Bank- FFT before, now shows TPP

[EVENKEEL]

I went to Bangkok Bank yesterday to order paperwork for 12 month extension. She pointed out out my deposits now show TPP. So, I've got 9 months of deposits showing FTT and 3 months of TPP. 

 

Anyone here have an issue with Immigration because of this? Just wondering what will be said.

My May 2 deposit to Bangkok Bank via SWIFT shows FTT

BTW FFT is Fast Fourier Transform

Did your Bangkok bank offer a solution. 

Did you obtain a 12 month bank statement? 

Problem is BBL take few, days to provide 12 month bank statement. 

Ask the bank about "credit advice"

As best I can tell TPP is Third Party Provider

It will take till next week before all statements are ready. It's the same lady working at the bank for years now that's provided the papers for me. All I can do is try. I'm a little late starting paperwork as extension ends 28 May. just wondering if I should go straight to an agent first.

According to Chat GPT, FTT means Funds Transfer Transaction, C-Pilot says Foreign Telegraphic Transfer, which I always believed was correct,  Nejther of these is on the bank book back page of abbreviations.

Yes, FFT is something completely different, used in audio analysis.

Swift transfers will still show as FTT, Us government transfers to Bangkok Bank will now show as TPP, if using the monthly method you should be getting credit advices. Easy to set up at the bank and they will be sent automaticly to your email account. I have received the last three months no problem.

Make sure you let us know what they say and what office. I posted a note early in the thread, show that to them so they know what you are talking about. It shows a one line explanation for the change from FTT to TPP, good luck.

Was just going to add again that mine is coming through NY ACH transfer that I think can only go to s Bangkok bank account. Your transfer is going by the ITA route which can go to any bank. That is what my wife has with Krungthai bank.
