Do I need a one-year bank statement or just the bankbook to renew my retirement extension in Thailand?

Assuming . That CM and BKK offices have same requirements. .

@Jakob ********

most offices are now requesting the "standard bank letter" (the one banks have been issuing all along) AND a year print out of the transaction details (because most people don't update their bank books often enough to get every transaction printed in the book, just a summary of money in - money out) AND updating the bank book on the date you apply.

MOST offices (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, allow the standard bank letter to be up to 7 days old, there's no rule on the year transaction detail and the bank book has to be updated the date you apply. Your office may vary, CHECK WITH THEM FIRST.

@Ian *******

some fixed accounts are just that, fixed and you can't use it like a regular account, can't deposit/withdrawal like normal.

BKK take a week to produce a yearly statement, thst's why I moved to SCB. Take a photocopy ofevery page of your bank book and take the bank book. Remember to sign every page IN BLUE!

My understanding is that BKK bank can 'update' the book without an actual transaction, as a friend does this. I use Krung Sri and just make a small deposit within 24 hrs of going to Immigration. I have never had a problem with this but I am not using Chiang Mai immigration either.

@Tod ********

, you would know better than me about this, but I thought the 800k had to be in a transaction account, and fixed interest account is not acceptable?
