SkyRider Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 This is what I needed last year at Chaengwattana. Have there been any chances? Passport (signed copies of each page) Departure Card TM (and copy of it) Thai Bank Book showing at least 800,000 baht (and copy of it) Deposit 100 baht more into bank before going to immigration Letter from Bank (Letter has to match the amount in the bank, including the 100 baht deposit) Three(1) 4×5 cm photos Copy of proof of address Completed application TM-7 One thing that doesn't make sense to me, I was told that at Chaengwattana, the letter from the bank has to be written on the same day of going to immigration, but two K Banks told me that it takes 1 to 2 days to write the letter. How can a person have the letter written on the same day, if it takes 1 to 2 days to have it written? I made the 100 baht deposit on Monday, and the bank had the letter ready for me today (Tuesday). Will this be a problem that I made the deposit and the letter was written 4 days in advance? Last year, there was a K Bank in the Chaengwattana building that wrote the letter for me on the same day, so I hope they will do that again in case there is a problem with the letter that I have now.

Mario2008 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Nothing has change, but they will probably want a same day update of the bankbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkoklasse Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 What does it mean when saying (Passport (signed copies of each page) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRider Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 What does it mean when saying (Passport (signed copies of each page) ? The main pages with your picture and info, and any pages that have stamps from Thailand have to be copied, and signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpinx Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I think they want the passport photo page and the most recent and current stamp pages -- not historic ones fwiw - the OP might want to consider the income method rather than the deposit - if it's appropriate for his circumstances. It's a lot easier - Depending on which embassy. Edited September 2, 2014 by jpinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRider Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thanks, that would be like 20-25 pages for me then !! Yes, It was about 10 pages for me, and I was thinking that the longer I'm living in Thailand, the more costly that printing will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRider Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I think they want the photo page and the most recent and current stamp pages on lt -- not historic ones I was told every page, and I remember that they took copies of every page last year. I'd rather spend the 1 baht per copy and be prepared, then to not spend it and then end up needing it. And what dates would be considered current, and what dates would be considered historic?

jpinx Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Current would be latest entry and latest visa and extension and re-entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
