Bangkok Bank statement from Central Festival branch.

[merijn]

I need a new bank statement for my visa extension.

Does anybody know if the Bangkok bank Branch in Central Festival issues this statement?

And if so, can i get this on every day when they are open (weekends and holidays) or only during the weekdays.

Thanks for your help.

Bangkok Bank managers will issue you a letter to take to immigrations. You bring in your passport and bank account passbook. You tell them you need the letter for immigrations (at Jomtien or wherever). At the Pratamnak branch they charge Baht 100 and produce a standard letter that shows your current balance and any foreign originated deposits during at least the past 90 days. At my branch I go to the foreign exchange counter. it is a standard procedure that should take no more than 10 minutes on any day they are open.

They should update your passbook and the balance shown in the letter must be EXACTLY the same as that in your updated passbook. When you go to Immigrations bring photocopies of pages from your passbook for at least the last 90 days and you should sign each photocopy. Get the letter the same day you go to immigrations or the day before.

Don't you need to get it from the branch where you opened the account?

That's something I thought about. For sure in the past I needed to go to my Bangkok Bank branch to obtain a new book when old one full, but last year I got a new book at another branch, so maybe individual banks can pull information from central database.

No, every branch from the bank can issue the letter and this is no problem.

My question was specific for the BB Branch in PHUKET Central Festival.

Can they issue the statement every day they are open including weekends and holidays. (they are open on those days)

This is not a normal branch as they are 7 days a week open.

Don't know about the BBL branch in Central Festival, but the main branch in Patong will not issue me the letter on a weekend, even though the branch is open on Saturday. Perhaps it's the same situation at the Central Festival branch. I think it may have to do with the bank officer who signs the letter not working on weekends. Hopefully, someone will know the situation for the branch you're interested in.
