Can I extend my O visa in Hua Hin with a 3-day old bank statement?

Question

This is a Hua Hin specific question. Perhaps cannot be answered here. I have an online morning appointment for extending my O visa (retirement). The IO told me that my bank statement and letter and bankbook update can be issued up to 3 days before my appointment at Immigration. Previously, I was doing these extensions in Lampang, and everything had to be "same day". I just want to make sure that I didn't misunderstand the IO in HH on this. Can anyone shed light if what is apparently accepted here in HH is common place in other offices? Thanks.

The user is seeking clarification on the acceptable age of bank statements when extending their O visa in Hua Hin. They learned from the immigration officer (IO) that a bank statement and letter may be accepted if issued up to 3 days before the appointment, contrasting with their previous experience in Lampang where same-day documents were required. Commenters indicate that requirements vary by location; some immigration offices allow older documents while others do not. The consensus emphasizes confirming the specific regulations with the Hua Hin immigration office.

From experience the letter can be X days in advance, but bookbank update usually needs to be day of….

Some offices accept the letter only on the same day, some accept 3days, and some such as Bangkok accept up to 7days old. Don't worry about the difference, but make sure how many days old is okay there. In either case, people have to update passbook on the day of application as Tod says.

Thanks..I will go out to HH Immigration office and ask them again, for confirmation. They have a very helpful information desk there.

what is accepted at "other offices" doesn't matter in the least to you [mention redacted] 😮 It's what Hua Hin will accept.

With over 70 immigration offices in the country and each one doing their own thing, it's just not a good policy to go by what another office does when you're dealing with a different one.

Unless I'm greatly mistaken you need to update your bank passbook on the date you apply, but I did read they accepted the letter a few days old

I would certainly update your passport BEFORE you go to the immigration office.
