norbra Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Please clarify for me whether funds in bank are required to be seasoned when using combined income and bank balance method. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The written rules do not mention that the money has to be in the bank for any amount of time when you using the combination option. But many offices want it to be in the bank for 3 months on the date of application. You would have to contact your local immigration office to find out what their policy is. Some may not require it if the income is much higher than the money in the bank as would be the case if person was using a small amount in the bank due to exchange rate fluctuations.

I would be applying at CW BKK. Many years ago I went to CW with proof of income in excess of 800,000 thb and was advised that I must show money in bank for renewal, I was given compassion and extension was granted Edited February 12, 2017 by norbra extra details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try and do it if your income is higher than the money in the bank. They can flexible in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai3 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Yet another case where the rules do not state something is needed but where some officers make their own rules up, will they ever abide by the actual laws of the land? I'd like to see a written rule that says 5 pp copies are needed just to do a 90 day report. Edited February 12, 2017 by thai3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yes the money needs to be in the bank for 60 days for the first extension or 3 months for all subsequent extensions. They might waive that if the shortfall in income is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules/orders the offices work to do state it. They receive written orders all the time which are not always published. They do not update the published police orders with every change or addition. They are not laws and offices have a certain amount of autonomy in what they can ask for above the minimum standards. Officers don't. Annoying but that's how it is. Easily sorted by asking the office you apply at for their requirements before applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
