Spellforce Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I just come back for a 1 year Non-O extension Visa in Jomtien. First my 3 month bank statment has been refused by the officer. They asked me a statment from my bank older than 6 months (from Jully 2015 untill today 23 february 2016). I came back with a > 7 month bank's statment and everything was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I don't recall Jomtien wanting bank statements. Normally all they want is copies of your bank book. I think there was a report of them wanting 6 months worth of copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Extension based on retirement? Marriage? What financial method? Income? Only bank account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellforce Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Extension based on retirement? Marriage? What financial method? Income? Only bank account? Marriage but still a non-o visa as the "retirement 50 yo" visa. And based on "bank account", the balance amount you can not go below for 3 (now 6?) months.

Jingthing Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) OK, now we're getting somewhere. So what kind of account? Don't you just have a passbook savings account? Why did you even need statements at all? People with passbooks just show copies of the passbook. Seasoning rules haven't changed. This is an enforcement / showing evidence policy type thing and it may or may not be very relevant to extenders in general. Which is why I'm trying to get more details from you about the account. It's not very weird to need to show 6 months of a passbook. Some offices might want to see the whole year.

Marriage but still a non-o visa as the "retirement 50 yo" visa. True. So what financial method? Based on "bank account", the balance amount you can not go below for 3 (now 6?) months. For an extension based upon marriage the money only has to be in the bank for 2 months. You do not need to have the 400k baht in the bank for 6 months. The extra months are only to see if you had any activity during the months before the 2 months. I have heard of some offices wanting copies of every page of the bank book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I agree, Ubonjoe. I don't think this is very remarkable news at all and does not reflect any change at all in the substantive rules for annual extensions. Cheers and congrats to the OP on the successful extension.

Spellforce Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thank you all. Reading you... I see that I forgot to say that my Bank Book has not been updated since Jully 2015. When I updated my book this morning, their computer summurized 7 months in only 1 line. That's why I asked my bank to give me a 3 months statment. OK what I should have done is: - update my bank book 3 months ago - this morning if I'd updated my B. book, they would have printed all the operation with updated balances Every year I' m learning something, one more time thank you all PS: a 3 months statment should have been enough, but the immigration officers are not working in a bank. They follow a "template": Letter from the bank + Bank Book updated the last 3 months. That's ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdrwdrwd Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Regardless of what the rules are, at my last Non O extension (which was not my first) the IO required 3 months (not 2) of 400k and required both a letter and a stamped statement from the bank to this effect - not just scans of the bank book (which I had updated 3 months prior and technically should have been fine) Edited February 24, 2016 by rwdrwdrwd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far a I know they are the only one that says that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
