ORIGINAL POSTER

"I want to ask about the bank letter for a 1-year extension. My Bangkok Bank account is from another province, which is about 6 hours away from where I currently live. So I want to get the letter from a nearby branch. Can I get the letter from any branch, or do I have to get it from the branch where I opened the account? If I get it from my original branch, it will take me another 6 hours to return. I’ve heard that the bank letter can only be used on the same day — is that true? Can someone advise me, thank you."

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks clarification on whether they can obtain a bank letter for a one-year visa extension from a Bangkok Bank branch different from where they opened their account, given the distance involved. Responses confirm that it is possible to get the letter at any Bangkok Bank branch, provided the necessary documents are prepared, such as a bank statement. However, it is noted that some immigration offices may require the bank letter to be dated the same day of application, while others may accept letters up to seven days old. Users suggest confirming specific requirements with the local immigration office.

They will accept the bank balance certification dated the day prior to you attending at CM immigration.. meaning if you update your book and get the letter on Monday you can still use it on Tuesday morning.. and it's kinda necessary if you are going to immigration at 8:30-9:00 am in the morning when the bank won't be open 😉 Ps. And if you bank with BB you can download your statements as pdf docs and then print them off yourself.. without having to pay a fee!

change your home branch. Get your TM30, visit Immigration and ask them for the certificate of residency. Then visit the bank branch and ask them to update your address and phone number. Done

I had opened an account in the city and I got my letter done in the small country town. It took 7 days and 200 baht as stated . At my immigration office I had to deposit money into the account that morning, to prove the account is still active . Then update the bank book and then get a copy. They disregarded the last page of the banks report and replaced it with my updated bank book page. Oh yes and it took 7 days . I got it the day before I went to immigration.
