I need a 12-month statement from TTB bank for the purposes of extending my permission to stay.  I recall that, last year, it took several working days for Head Office to produce this.  Dates, this year, are not too convenient as I have other commitments so I'm trying to coordinate things.

The question is, having obtained the statement, how many days is it valid for?  i have heard 3 days but also 7 days.  I also need the usual bank letter but this can, i believe, be done on the spot by my local branch.  I think that the validity of the letter is 3 days.

Anyone have any actual information on this? 

Depends on your immigration office, I think.

My bank produces the 12-month statement in ten minutes, and then, with the letter, which takes a couple of hours to get, I go to Immigration. My understanding is that the statement is only valid for that day, but that's just a guess; I don't really know. I always do all this on the same day. 

Last year, I asked my Bangkok Bank for a statement of my account receiving the monthly transfers, at the end of June, after six months, stamped and signed there and then.

Went again at beginning of January for July to December and got the next one, plus letter of ownership of the account. Immigration accepted them all no problem. Extension was due 7th January, so went on 3rd.

Once I had Kasikorn Bank required 2 weeks in advance of my 1 year extension of O-A with CW Immigration.

IO told me it's too old. I said "t was what it was." I have no authority to order KB on the date. IO accepted the statement.

Yes. Despite me highlighting all the monthly transfers, and supplying corresponding WISE pdfs, Jomtien Immigration insisted on me getting a specified document from the International department of KBank in Pattaya Klang.

I can just verify one point. That in my location CNX the local branch letter was returned as no longer needed.

They did need to see  my Deposit Bank Book  dated within one Busness day at renewal.

In my case BKK provided me. Even though no new deposits but there was a annual charge so that appeard with todays date and current on hand total.

Yes, if you do the 12 monthly transfer method you certainly need the certified statement from the bank.  I deal with TTB who have been good in most respects.  However, the branch that I have used previously has been closed so I now need to use another one.  Finding out which one was not straightforward as their contact centre gave me bad information, which caused me to waste an entire day, trying to set things up with an incorrect branch.  That is now sorted but the question of validity remains as they don't seem to know just how long it will take for Head Office to produce the document.  Last year it took a few days.

In fact, it should not really matter as the purpose of the statement is merely to certify that 12 transfers have been made over the previous year and the date of the statement is largely irrelevant.  However, TiT, as usual.

The letter that certifies the account is another matter.  That has to be dated on the date of application - but no problem as that can be done on the spot.

Yes, bankbook needs to be updated on the day of application.  Not a problem.

Wouldn't it be good if all Immigration Offices and IOs sang from the same hymn sheet!

Normally 7 days for letter and statement, but ask your local immigrations office. Bank book-update often needs to be same day.
