Just a quick update.

 

Collected my stamp this morning, no issues.

 

Hand over PP and updated bank book at the front desk (no copies required) and wait to be called to collect.

 

Easy peasy!

  • You also get treated as a Thai if you've been naughty (like kicking a doctor). Splitting up a married couple is a Human Rights problem which the Thai government try to avoid.

  • Perhaps work out the opportunity cost of having 800k locked in a Thai bank at very low interest vs kept in alternative.  One easy example is my Oz superannuation fund which is 8% +  Compound

  • Yep. I was told the same thing today at Pathumthani. Funny how they surreptitiously turned a 60 day bank requirement into a 90 day requirement with absolutely no legal authority to do so.

dit·to my experience at PT last week in and out in 20 mins with 12 month stamp.

The agents told me I have to provide an account that shows constant activity. I'm applying for a married visa again soon, and I don't understand why I can't show a bank account I never use. I save money for my children's school there, and the amount is over 400,000 baht, and it's been sitting there for years. Is it okay if I show a different bank account than the one I applied for last year?

Assume you mean applying for 12 month extension (it's not a Visa) 

The constant activity is misunderstood. 

They mean show a bank statement. 

Even if no transactions in certain months the bank statement is what's required.

Using money in bank method the 400k only requires 2 months seasoning prior to extension + maintained during under consideration period. 

You could use a different bank account provided the funds seasoned for the two months. 

Avoid BBL.

Sometimes when using an account where the 400K lies dormant, like in a FTD account, Immigration become suspicious of how you cover living expenses (working illegally).

When I obtain the standard bank letter, I always request they state both accounts, the FTD and the Savings account.
I only provide a statement for the 400K FTD account, but it proves to Immigration I have a further account for living expenses.
