A question for Tod Daniels please, re CW. I renewed my Non-O, over 50 extension in September, based on seasoned banked money, 800ktbt.

I see a number of posts from people with the same extension as me, but from other immigration offices, talking about having to return to immigration 3 months after exemption issue to prove that the cash is still in the bank.

My question, does CW require me to return to immigration in December to show my financial situation?

I certainly don't recall being told so back in September.

I'd hate to miss part of the exemption requirement out of ignorance.

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is inquiring if they need to return to the immigration office in December to prove their financial status after renewing their Non-O visa based on having 800,000 baht in a bank account. Other users clarify that not all immigration offices require a three-month return to update bank balances. Specifically, they mention that the Chaengwattana office does not require this, as they do not issue a notice with a return date for this purpose.

Chaengwattana does NOT hand out that paper, that's why you don't have it ;)

Only a FEW immigration offices have the "return in 3 months to show your updated bank book" policy.

The way you tell if the immigration office you use has that policy or not IS

Did they give you a notice that had a return date of 3 months on it saying to update your bank book and come back?

IF yes, you DO update your bank balance and go back

but

if they didn't give you that paper you don't.

They will check your bank balance NEXT year when you get your extension to make sure you followed the terms of the extension (800K baht banked for 3 months after you get your extension and then the balance can't go below 400K the rest of the year).
