exgov Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I recently went to Jomtien Immigration of one year extesion. I am 64 years young and have been getting the extension for 5 years. I have had a Thailand bank account for 10 years with a few thousand baht. Always less than 100,000 Baht. I always use use my monthly annuities verified by my embassy. The annuities are double the requirement. Never a problem until this month. I received the extension but the same officer that I always use told me that next year to bring deposit slips showing my deposits into my Thai bank, The officer stated that I had not been putting enough money into Thai bank! Was the officer having a bad day? I don't understand. I treat immigration officers and police very respectfully as they are the ones that open and close the jail door. Also, for everyone's info: No copies of TM 7 required and no medical certificate required. Probably next year no clothes required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect ATM receipts would be good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyham Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I have seen this statement before about ATM receipts being proof of money transferred from overseas. Yet I have looked at many of my ATM receipts that I get from Thai ATM machines based on extracting money from my bank account in the US. There appears to be no information that indicates the money came from overseas. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the ATM receipts mention the account number or some info that you cna link to your account or credit card in the US ? This together with your US bank's statement should do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
