ToddinChonburi Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Went to immigration today in Si Racha, Thought I had all paperwork in order. Bank Letter with season funds, Copies of the bank book with the funds, but wait something is wrong, the copies have not been certified by the bank. She told me the copies could be fake, yes that is what she said, FAKE !!!! So the bank letter is fine it is just the copies of the bank book that could be fake. Thailand So now updating your bank book and making copies is not good enough. you need bank seal stamp on copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome2 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 They can have a look at your bankbook to check when you are there . Is that not enough?Sent from my GT-N7105 using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Did you actually take the bank book with you, as well as the copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgeezer Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 She is wasting your time. She knows that you know that what she asks serves no practical purpose. You are supposed to work out what you did to make her treat you like this, it is probable that she thought that you didn't show her respect. My advice would be to do as she asks and try again and show that you have learnt you lesson. On the other hand it may be that the policy is to encourage applicants to use "agents", we know that they are on a tight budgets in the provinces, in which case you may have more hoops to jump through but if you have all the requirments she can't refuse you, so keep at it.

chiang mai Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 It wouldn't be the responsibility of the bank to certify the copies, it would be yours and that is done by signing every page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Don't get all bothered about that. This is NOT he case for all Thailand, All that 'certification' probably refers to is that you did not sign your signature on each page of the copies. We have seen that before and that is all 'certification' turned out to be. t any rate, this does not apply country wide, so far it is just a requirement in one immigration office. Maybe I have it easy here in Bangkok, but here the immigration is on the 2nd floor, and the Bank off ices are on the ground floor, so you can update your bank passbook and get a dated bank letter any day in 15 minutes for a 200 Baht fee if you need one. Dated the same day, on a standard computer printed, form and signed by the bank branch supervisor there. And yes, I do know that is true country wide.

I had to go in a day in advance because the branch doesn't issue the letter, it comes from somewhere else (HO?) Also, I cannot show that I updated my passbook on a particular day unless there was some kind of transaction on that day. The passbook will show only up to the last transaction. If there's been no transaction since the last time I updated, the machine will just spit the passbook out. If your funds are in a non-transactional type account (CD), you can't make a transaction that day.

So deposit or withdraw 100 baht and create a transaction! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToddinChonburi Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 GSB will not let you add to fixed funds account. Bank book will not update. You have to open up a seperated account for intrest to be deposited. This is one crazy banking system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
