Phuket immigration/extension based on marriage

[Burgo1979]

Hi there. Has anybody recently done a yearly extension of stay based on marriage at Phuket?, can anyone confirm that they are accepting bank letter and statement from the day/days before application?.

 

I understand the bank book needs to be updated on the day of application after a small transaction.

 

TIA

Exactly correct. Bank statement and letter can be max 7 days old.
Copy of your bank book with the last 2 months of transactions and showing the balance on the application date.

Thanks. Have you used this method recently at Phuket immigration?.

[Roel]

Yes. A week ago.

Thanks again. How busy was it?, obviously you got a ticket/number. Did you arrive as it opened or book online?

When we arrived at 8:15, there were already six people waiting for the doors to open; two Thai girls and two couples. As a result, we received queue number 5. The two Thai girls were in and out very quickly, possibly just dropping off missing documents or doing some visa agency business. We sat down with the officer around 8:45, as three desks were open, and we walked out the door around 10:00. When we left, there were about seven or eight people waiting, so it wasn’t very busy.

Many thanks for your help, much appreciated

Yes, that what I did. Also, please check BF (Balance Brought Forward) is correct - Bank made a mistake last time.

7 days old - really? not on the day of application? From Phuket Immigration? Was it for marriage or retirement extension?  

[Roel]

Marriage.
Bankbook must be updated on the application date, but letter and statement can be 7 days old.

I asked the question as i'd imagine for people who live far away from Phuket immigration like myself, it could be 10am by the time they have got to immigration with the paperwork from the bank (on the same day), as banks open 8.30am, and all the ticket numbers may have been given out for the day.
