Hotrats Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The last time I did my retirement extension at Nonthaburi Immigration (a few months ago) they did accept the bank letter dated the previous day, but they insisted that my bank book be updated on the same day as the application. They even made me make a trip to the nearest bank to get the bank book updated before they would process my application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry15 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Must be the same day, and they don't accept fixed accounts anymore. Best is to ask your bank to put the date of your renewal and before you go to immigration you take some money out and update your bankbook. Since this this year the ask that you certify your affidavit from your emnbassy at FMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been there last May, and the one eyed officer told me very clearly, that the bankaccount must show regular money go in and out . Even you have another account were you can show that monthly more than 65 000 Baht is deposit and use that account for daiy spending, was no use. This was confirmed by the Chieff sitting on right om the back. Till recently is used the income Affidavit, but my embassy is asking 800 Baht for it. and with the new rule in Nonthaburi I have to certify that affidat at MFA, cost me an additionel 400 Baht in the speed procedure. So I was planning to use one of my fixed accounts. But now the refuse it, so I will go on using an income affidavit. Its much cheaper than loosing intrest on 800 000 Baht.

I went in April. I took the bank letter and both fixed accounts and Current Account (Speed Savings) books and copies ... my CA is with CIMB so it gives not far from the savings account interest rate. My CA had gone under the 800K for a couple of weeks, but was well above it on that date, but anyway I had plenty in my saving accounts. That guy didn't want a copy of my Fixed Account but just accepted my Speed Savings Account ... forewarned for next year then. Previously I have used a mixture of CA and Fixed Accounts. You may not know but at present CIMB are offering 1.6%pa on their Speed Savings Account (basically a CA) above 1M THB. With my CIMB ATM card I can withdraw from that account using other banks ATMs with no charges in Province of course.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Has anyone else who's used the Nonthaburi Immigration office either had the same -- or different -- experience as reported by the OP in this thread. Specifically: --that Nonthaburi Immigration required MFA certification of consulate income letters. --that Nonthaburi Immigration refused to accept a fixed deposit account to meet the bank deposits requirement, because they wanted a Thai bank account that showed proof of funds regularly coming in and then being spent.

CA stands for Current Account. But it's called a Speed Savings Account. What is a cheque book ... No I don't have one, but actually I have never asked for one...next time I go in I will enquire for you. I have Internet Banking with them but you don't seem to be able to pay everybody with it. If I owe money I do an ATM transfer to their bank account. Sorry can't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A current account would be a checking account as they are are called in many countries. To get a current account here is difficult and at most banks would require a work permit. Here is what a current account is at Bangkok Bank. http://www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/PersonalBanking/DailyBanking/Accounts/CurrentAccounts/Pages/Default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now tend to use my Credit Card for everything that I can... but always follow the person to the dask when paying! Some places find that strange ..... I pay my CIMB Credit Card from it by using Internet Banking It has a Book which the Bank updates for me whenever ... CIMB don't seem to have a book 'self update' facility like BB have. I find it a very useful account. For some reason BB couldn't give me Internet Banking ... apparently I had more than one profile and they couldn't sort even after months so I moved my money to CIMB. I found this on my Internet Banking so they must have cheques somewhere ... Edited August 17, 2016 by JAS21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
