Hello Everyone,

Non-O Immigrant Visa Based on retirement/ over 50 Yearly extension in Hua Hin.

I've just been to the bank to get my 1-year statements and I'll be able to pick them up in 7 days.

Am I able to use a bit of money above the 800,000 baht in this account while waiting for the statements or does the 1 year Bank Statement total have to match the account total on the day I do the renewal.

Thank you as always
Answer summary
The original question inquired whether the balance in a bank account must match the total amount shown in a one-year bank statement when renewing a Non-O Immigrant Visa based on retirement in Hua Hin. Several comments clarified that the exact totals from the bank statement, bank letter, and bank book do not need to match, provided the balance is above the required 800,000 baht threshold. The responses stressed the importance of having all documents in order and highlighted variability in how quickly banks can issue statements.

This thread seems to be nothing but people posting what they do, how it works at their office, etc.

What this isn't gonna be is a "at my office they do xxx, I get my statement yyy, it's done like zzz"

sadly
@Sarah *******
I'm shutting this thread down.. There's just no one answering the questions you asked

People what this thread isn't about is;

how fast your bank can get the statement printed?

how many months of that statement your immigration office requires?

what your office requires to get an extension?

what you take with you when you apply

This was a simple question posed by
@Sarah *******
Do the totals on the transaction detail report, the bank letter, the bank book have to match when you go to apply for your yearly extension?

OR

is it fine they're different as long as the balance is still above the 800K baht threshold?

And looking at the responses it seems NOT ONE person (other than myself) answered that.

So get back on topic please

In Hua Hin I printed my own statement for the year. 21 pages and updated my bank book the day before visiting immigration.

One week before you go speak to your bank. Request the following the day before you go to immigration …

1. Credit advice for the 800k

2. Letter from bank.

Afterwards, show an international payment of 65k going into your bank every month and start spending the 800k.

I get my 12 months statements and letter within 20 minutes at Krungsri. They also deposit 20 baht and provide updated bank book and a copy.

which is great but not ALL banks can do the year statement on demand like that, some do indeed take 5-7 days to get it

yes, Bangkok Bank takes up to 7 days if you ask the teller BUT, if you are set for mobile banking, there’s a place in the menu to request a 1 year statement via email. Usually comes within 15 minutes.

My experience the last few years is that HH Immigration accepts a 3 month statement, which most banks can give you on the spot.

My understanding is 6 months is OK and available the same day at Bangkok Bank . I was surprised at the one year and wonder where that came from ??

Thanx for that update about Hua Hin I appreciate it and apologize for mis-remembering what the O/P asked

ok but for Hua Hin they don’t require it my cousin went last week with a 6 month statement for a retirement extension. She has been using this office for retirement extensions for years

Further to this, on my appointment list from HH Immigration, these are the documents required, however, I will bring a statement anyway...

1. Application form

2. Copy of applicant’s passport

3. Evidence of income such as a retirement pension, interest or dividends; and/or

4. Account deposited (saving / fixed account) certificate issued by a bank in Thailand and a copy of a bankbook

Bank statement only printed day pick up. No idea why ask 7 days notice as nothing is done until day pick up then bank print there and then.

careful there
@Jim **********
not all banks can print the year transaction detail statement on 'demand' some can take between 5 and 7 days to get it to you

was kind enough to point out to me by messenger that the O/P did indeed ask about the Hua Hin office I apologize for mis-remembering what the O/P wrote.

My apologies to people who were referencing Hua Hin

Thanx again one and all for the comments

ok. But I know Hua Hin accepts as I used my prints last month. It has Bangkok Bank headers on every page of the statement.

@Scott ******
not all offices will accept the "print it myself online statement" you can access and some require the bank one because it has their stamp on the pages

There is no requirement that the bank statement and the bank letter and the bank book all match

As long as you're above the 800K baht threshold, update your bank book on the day you go apply and have the bank letter dated within 7 days of when you apply you should be fine
