Had a weird experience at kk immigration yesterday. Had everything in order as always. I use the 800,000 method for income. I have had the account for 6 years and never touched it. Normally I just get the income letter from the bank and that’s it. All is well.  But yesterday the agent wanted a statement too!  I don’t understand, it is only used for the visa extension. I don’t understand. Anyone experienced this before?

Normal harassment, can happen in any immigration office...that's Thailand!

It's normal procedure, you need both a letter and a bank statement, often 3 months will do together with a copy of the bankbook.

Why do you use an agent for a simple visa extension?

What 400k rule are you referring to

Retirement requires 800k for X months, and 400k all year

Required in Samut Prakarn?

I always answer money sent by my children.

Totally acceptable to Thai authorities, and removes any potential further requests for a TIN as it's not taxable.

 

Gifts are not taxable? Sounds interesting :smile:

The actual rule is 800k in bank for two months prior to application for extension and maintain 800k for three months after approval and not below 400k in other months. 

Bkk Bank online banking has a feature that let's you download and print bank statements covering the one year period.  Perfect!

Did you show up at immigration with self printed download?

Immigration will not and should not accept downloaded bank statements..

I'm in Ratchaburi but have always been required to have 3 things for the financials.  1) letter from the bank 2) 12 month printout from the bank 3) copies of the bank book pages.

And of course I also have the original bank book on hand if they ask to see it.
