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

[Drumbuie]

When I had this problem with the Bangkok Bank statement showing both FTT and TPP, I requested a statement through the banking app, printed it, highlighted all the transactions,  went to the branch and asked them to confirm that all the transactions were from abroad. 

An hour or so later, I was given letters confirming each transaction was a FTT.  I submitted those with the printed out 12 month bank statement, and a printout of my bank book. Chaeng Wattana accepted that and since I leave the 800k untouched, building up a small surplus with the interest, have had no problems since.

Your op title mentions FFT but that's a typo as the text calls it FTT, Foreign Telephonic/telegraphic Transfer.

Yes Hua Hin Immigration challenged me on that when converting my OA to O visa.

I went to the local BBK branch and had the Foreign Account manager write a short letter of explanation for the IO. End of problem.

 

The manager told me that different banks and even different branches of BBK could use different anagrams. I believe the former but not the latter.

Yes, you're right. FTT

most banks have different codes for foreign transactions, he was telling you the truth

read my post carefully. I said I agreed with the former (other banks) but not the latter (other BKK branches)

 

Keep in mind that I was trying to help the OP.

When money is sent to Bangkok Bank via Swift, or WISE with Long Term Stay or Purchase Property reason, it is noted as FTT, and on the book and on statements it says International Funds Transfer. 

Interesting fact, I didn't know that.

What you or I know does not matter unfortunately; it's what the IO knows that matters.

When I did the OA to O conversion last year, the low rank document checking lassie at the Hua Hin IO told me I could not use my BKK time deposit account (used ONLY for immigration) could be used. I had to establish a new one and USE NEW funds to top it up!!!!!!

Of course she was wrong but it did start the bank trips over the next two days to prove I had funds there for several years, and all had been funded by FTT deposits.

Thanks.

sorry my bad, you are right all branches of the same bank would be using identical codes for international transfers.

I would ask the bank to provide "credit advice" statements for each transfer not marked FTT - not wait on immigration's response - just in case it takes time to get it all together.
