When using an agent for yearly retirement extension,does the agent need the original bank deposit Book, or is a copy enough ? Any experiences ?

Check it out, but I believe ATV will go to your bank and get the letter for you as part of the process.

I would be stunned if ATV could get the information. I would change banks immediately. Perhaps if you die other people would be able to get it with proper documentation but not a Visa company they would not need it you don't need a Visa to be dead in Thailand.

ATV has a form, a 'limited' Power of Attorney that a client signs, that specifically designates that the Power of Attorney is ONLY for use for receiving the letter from the bank. It is NOT a general Power of Attorney that can be used for any other purpose.

NJ -- you sign a Limited Power Of Attorney that gives the visa agent the ability to get the letter from the bank. It doesn't give them the authority to withdraw you money from the bank! Nothing besides getting a letter.

Considering that most of us are only using agents for the purpose of getting us a slot in the queue, I would think that the best idea is once you have chosen your agent, is to go in about 6 weeks before your visa is due, ask them exactly what they require, then do the business yourself to avoid cock ups and for peace of mind.
