Title should have said CHECKS drawn on foreign bank accounts ...

I have been interested in using US dollar checks on my US bank accounts deposited at Siam Commercial Bank to execute my foreign transfers. As I am on a retirement visa, I am aware that technically immigration wants all my money to come from abroad. Other than a photocopy of all deposited dollar checks, I don't what else I could give them to prove these transfers. So, is immigration OK with these kinds of transfers, and would a check photocopy be enough proof if asked? The Thai bank book would show a baht deposit weeks later, so I can see it could be a problem linking those two items for proof purposes (well not a problem for me, but a problem for anal officers).

In the case of Bangkok Bank a check shows the same "FTT" code as a wire transfer. You also have special paperwork when you deposit the check that could be used (this probably includes a photo copy of the check). Do not believe Immigration would give you any problem using such transfers.

Many SCB branches have most cooperative managers and the one I use would modify their standard letter verifying funds to include a statement as to the origin of your account inflows, one that you would word for them to copy.
