ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi! When we are getting our Thai bank statement for financial proof, does it have to be certified? Is it a regular statement? Or something different? I'm with Kasikorn.

Any other details if you have them would be awesome. Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary

When obtaining a Thai bank statement for financial proof, it is generally sufficient to present a regular bank statement without certification. However, it is recommended to also provide a stamped letter from the bank on official letterhead, along with the statement. Additionally, have a bank book and photocopies of each page of your passport ready, as immigration may require these.

I've found that you need to have a stamped letter from the bank on their official letterhead along with the bank statement. The banks provide this without any problem. A key thing also was showing a bank book. We got screwed here at the immigration in NST because Citibank doesn't provide them - I had to open up a new account with Kasikorn so you should be ok. The other thing is having to provide a photocopy of each page of your passport that then needs to be signed.

We got rejected in October because of the bank book issue and had to come back in January to renew my retirement visa. All went smoothly after that. Let us know if you need some help. We live about 5 minutes away from the NST office.

So, you showed up missing a requirement, but mr happy is giving you leniency be telling you to come back 3 months later to show your new bank book. Sometimes i have the feeling immigration is to nice.

We showed up with everything we thought we needed, as per the previous time but were rejected for not having the bank book. We even called Citibank and had them speak with the guy at NST Immigration. With my wife's charm, he gave us a 3-month extension on my current retirement visa in order to open a new account and show the three months of 800K THB deposit with proof from the bank book. If you're coming to NST immigration, my wife can probably help speak to the guy. She has a way with him.

What does the letter from the bank say? How much you deposited all year? Or is it itemized? We're in NST too.

The bank statement is enough, you do not have to get them certified
