Marriage renewal visa money in the bank.

Featured Replies

I just read this statement: 'You have to use Bangkok Bank for proof of funds.' Surely this can't be true.I thought any Thai Bank could be used . Has anyone recently extended their visa with another bank account that is not Bangkok Bank?

Where did you read this?

Definitely not true in general.

Some "agent" insist on Bangkok Bank?

So many use Kasikorn or other banks.

I read in on OUR PAI FAMILY. I thought it couldn't be true. Everybody here in Pai who used the Bangkok Bank is looking for another bank because they are closing their branch down and moving all accounts to Mae Hong Son 

As long as it's a thai bank account in your name only you can use it to bank the 400K baht.

I agree with KhunBENQ That totally sounds like something on an agent website

It's not true. 

As some have posted.. most likely statement from an agent. 

However that's strange as agents generally do not deal with extension marriage. 

It's just a misunderstanding. 

Are you doing the extensions yourself meeting the financial requirements.

Yes, I have been doing them myself for 17 years. The extension is not due until December, and with the

Bangkok Branch closing down where I live, at the end of the month, I am moving my funds to KrungThai Bank and was confused when I read this statement.

Any bank. Update your bank book on the same day. Previously get a letter from your bank, maximum 7 days, showing your balance.

 

Letter + Bank book needed.

 

Had Kasikorn for years.

As so many others.

All banks cutting cost by closing branches, removing ATMs etc

Only caveat I would add - get the account moved 90+** days before you plan to apply for the extension.  This will make the account-balance seasoning proof simple and straightforward.

 

** (I know the seasoning is officially 2 months, but out in the sticks some IOs sometimes demand 90 days - happened to me, which luckily I had).
