Nevo Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Despite giving my bank plenty of warning of transferring a top up to my Thai bank account to give me 800k plus plus for the 3 month retirement renewal they manage to cock up the transfer. HSBC Thailand faxed the instruction to the wrong number. Jersey HSBC didn't receive it. I have instructed Jersey to do a swift transfer today to Bangkok but it could take 3 working days (say Bangkok) to hit my account. That means I'll be 3-4 days short of the three months. Does anyone know if this will be a problem?? I'll never do it this way again. Why can't people just do their jobs properly?

camerata Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Can you get a letter from HSBC Thailand stating the date of your original transfer request and that their mistake caused the delay? It might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It's hard to give a definitive answer. About all I can say is give it try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yep. It all depends who you see on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedObserver Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Next time don't leave until the last minute. If you read the TV Forum often then you can't say that you haven't been warned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happylarry Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I thought it had been dropped to 2 months now anyway??? or is that only the marriage visa? HL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It is 2 months for the first application. Then 3 months after that. Marriage is 2 months according to the rules. But 3 months by some rogue immigration offices rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevo Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I'll have to see what happens on the day. Have all the paperwork to show that I tried. I didn't leave it until the last minute. That's the whole point ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I have read of immigration giving people a 7 day extesnion when they were that close to having the money in the bank so that is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
