Renewal of non o based on retirement

[DaveBart]

Have just been to Phetchaburi immigration to renew my non o visa based on retirement,this is the 10 th time I have renewed only today to be told I need 1 years bank statement in stead of the normal 6 months statement I have had for the last 9 times,I don't know if this is a new immigration rule for Phetchaburi,I have been in touch with the Bangkok bank and now have to wait on a statement from Bangkok bank head office,so I'm just putting this on here as a heads up

Is that a report or question. 

I deal with CW for extension based on retirement using money in bank method. 

I provide a 12 month bank statement. 

The bank (Kasikorn) issues it on the spot. 200b 

Immigration will accept a bank statement up to 7 days old. 

BBL folk need to wait days for the statement

A report,I have never needed a yearly statement before from the Phetchaburi office

Assume you are using money in bank method. 

Previously how did you show financial compliance for the 12 months. 

Just your bank book?

Yes money in the bank, copy of the up dated bank book,and a letter showing 6 months statement,I don't know why it has changed, luckily I always renew before the due date so have a few days to get the years statement

strange, but at CM immigration I have ALWAYS had to provide a 1-years bank statement through Bangkok Bank who advised me each year of the exact letters I needed from BB.  Just saying as I also realize it is a different immigration office.  Also had to provide a copy of every page of my bankbook and had to have my bankbook there too.

What use is a 6 month statement? can't check it properly, must have been an oversight

In the bank book prior to the 6 month statement that you provided were there any months of zero transactions? 

As posted above.... What's the use of a 6 month statement. 

12 months OR Bank Book OR both would be the norm

If you have Bangkok  Bank App on your phone , you can request a 12 month Statement.  Look for ( More services ) on bottom right. They will e-mail it to you. I renewed visa today and imm accepted it.

Sometimes this is accepted, but other times they want a bank-stamped statement.  The OP is getting the bank-stamped one, which will definitely work.

Wouldn't be a problem anyway, you'd get a "pending" until the bank produced the docs.
