You missed the point! Why is this 20th century country STILL in the 20th century. Bankbooks = 19th century.


just because something is old doesn’t make it redundant. Just because something is new doesn’t make it better



AND WHY DO you members still need to copy the post above the comment you ...

And we can live in hope the Immigration office treats the ANTIQUATED bank book with the contempt it deserves as well as allowing statements downloaded from our online services. KBank will provide a download of 12 months worth minus the current day.

Ho hum ---- back reality!!!


You have probably ...

Interesting, but only part that MAY impact me is any impact on a widows pension for my wife after i die; she should get about 30% of my civil service pension. Would this be taxable? (annual amount would only be a few thousand per year). I am assuming that couldn't be taxable as a lump sum ...

I know we are getting off topic here but I remember back to the time when we had to goto Nong Khai (before the Udon office opened) to do our extension of stay etc. and confront that arsehole "Mr. Happy" (sat at the bottom-right of the office). Me, well dressed with Mrs Dero in silks or her Puai ...

Be sure and wear a sleeved shirt. Also, they don't seem to like shorts and sandals.



Possibly suggestions only. YMMV.

I have been to Nong Han DLT on several occasions, each time dressed in golf shirt, shorts and sandals, all without incident.


Same here. Given that its basically a head ...

The only reason I mentioned the kindness of the Immigration lady in returning the correct change is that some members have complained about not receiving a refund.


That point (though semantically it’s not a refund it’s your change) it certainly worth noting.

That some of the Udon IOs state ...

The 90-day visa office on the first floor was really crowded much more so than the extension visa on the second floor although it was crowded too.

I got my marriage visa extension completed without any problems and the female immigration office was kind enough to grant me another 90-day visa ...

Eh, the IO would not accept an out of date statement from Bangkok Bank. Sorry if its not clear enough for you.


No it is not enough. As your post just referenced an earlier post with not enough details to show exactly what happened. You just stated that an IO would not accept an out of date ...

Yesterday I arranged to receive a bank statement off of my Bangkok Bank App delivered to my email address. I took that statement to Bangkok Bank on Phosri Road and spoke with my girl, Pia, at the International Desk. She confirmed that the bank was not allowed to sign off on or stamp a statement ...

YAWN!!
So why would the IO not accept all this towards the end of last year as already noted posts ago.


Please state the problem if you want a genuine answer.

I am not going to trawl through all the various posts to consolidate into 1 where the problem is stated succinctly

You seem to have ...

Some immigration offices are aware of the time difference between the date and time stamp on a bank statement, bank letter and/or bank book, and the date and time of the extension application. Therefore, some immigration offices require the "instant" verification of a same-day ATM ...

Some immigration offices are aware of the time difference between the date and time stamp on a bank statement, bank letter and/or bank book, and the date and time of the extension application. Therefore, some immigration offices require the "instant" verification of a same-day ATM transaction ...

Thats why the the IO also want copies of your bank book updated to the date of your application.


That shows that different IO’s have different requirements



If the IO are willing to use out of date statements as proof of the reqd. amounts being in your account as of your application date ...

Immigration will not accept a statement that does not show the the minimum required amount on the 'day of the application' for the extension of stay.


To the best of my knowledge no bank statements show the amount on deposit on the day of application. They only ever show the amount on the day ...

The statement that you can request in the App will only be up to the past 12 months.
If you need a statement for the whole 2024 you need to go to the bank.


FWIW immigration will only ask for a statement for the last 12 (just possibly on occasion 13) months at this time of year a statement from ...

NB. Immigration requires that any bank letter/statement be stamped by the bank. Or printed on bank letterhead and signed.
The bank requires a fee for the stamp/signature

I have no idea if a Bangkok bank branch will stamp a statement that they did not print (I can see very good reasons why they ...

There is a superb app called LumaFusion it is available for both Android and iPhone, iPad and M series Mac.

The android version is developed from the apple one and is https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... sion&hl=en

Udon immigration has accepted a visa-exempt entry for "conversion" to a single-entry, 90-day Non-O and ultimately a 1-year extension thereof, on the grounds of marriage to a Thai.

I am unaware if the same method is available for ultimately getting a 1-year retirement extension.

I believe the ...

After a small renovation project at my Udon home I was left with two CAT 6 cables severed between my house and my workshop. The cables are now exposed so finding the fault is no issue.

Does anyone have the contact details for a technician that will come to my house near the airport and crimp on a ...

I am a US Citizen who is receiving Service-Connected Disability Income from the US Veteran's Administration. I am not required to record that income on my US tax return since it is not taxable in the US, nor does the VA even send out annual statements to acknowledge that income having been paid ...
