Can I get my bank letter for a NON-O marriage extension at Immigration on the same day instead of in advance?

I went to the Bangkok Bank at Central Rama 9 to get the bank letter for my non-o marriage extension, and they didn't understand my request. They said they could only give me a statement, but not a letter. Is there any reason not to just get it from the branch in Chiang Wattana on the day I go in for the extension instead of getting it in advance? I assume that I should have time to do that before they get to my queue number.

I just got my Bank statement from my Bank in Canada . On my statement the Bank stamped and initialed , but when I got home realized I need an accompanying letter. What exactly is the letter supposed to say.

i always make a copy of all pages of the bank letter ( nang sue rab roong thanakan) once i received it, before I have to pass the original to Immigration and they keep it. Thus I shall have a copy at hand for next year visit of my bank, just in case I run into a new employee who has no idea of what I am asking for. Showing the the specimen solves them & me the headache

I only had about 30 people ahead of me but the L section is pretty slow. I waited 2 hours before my number was called. It takes about 30 minutes to see someone at the bank. Have them update your bank book at the same time.
