When doing visa based on 65k each month do you need to get the statement the same day as you go to immigration or is it ok the day before ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a visa based on a monthly income of 65,000 THB, it's generally acceptable to present your bank statements from the day before your immigration appointment, as long as they demonstrate the required 12 monthly transfers of 65k each. However, updates to the bank book must be done on the same day as the visa application. If using Bangkok Bank, you can request your annual statement via their app, which can be received quickly. It is also important to note that this visa is typically an extension for an existing retirement visa rather than a new application.

You can't do any visa based on this. Only an extension.

CW allows letter and statements up to 7days before application but bank book have to be updated to the very same day

I assume this is an extension to an existing retirement visa? You can only do extensions based on 65k a month, that's as I believe it is??

65k transfers are allowed for the second 12 month extension but not the first

Do you mean the Bank Statements for the year or the Bank letter certifying your account?

@Peter ******
The 12 months bank statement. The bank letter should be from the day you apply at immigration.

@Max ************
not quite correct the Bank letter is valid for 7 days and the statement can be for any day as long as it shows 12 months deposits.

@Peter ******
At some bank branches it takes up to 7 days to receive a 12 months bank statement. Get it?

depends on the office. Making such generalizations shows your lack of understanding and low maturity level. Hua Hin allows the day before for example

@Jack *******
I said "should" because that's the official requirement if you know what official means. One day before is allowed at several immigration offices. Where I'm staying it's allowed because some bank branches open 10am, while immigration open 8:30. Read this slow and you might understand.

Seven days before. As long as it has the 12 x 65k transfers showing it's all good. If you're with Bangkok Bank you can now get the annual statement from the app. Order it and it will be emailed within a few hours

You mean he needs to order the 12 months bank statement up to a week before.

@Max ************
Yes. Before Bangkok Bank introduced the facility to order online, I would order the statement seven days prior. It would take 2-3 working days to arrive at the branch as it came from their head office

he means you can get a statement emailed to you from the app. Im not sure if it works at all immigration offices though. I was told it wouldn't work at the one i use

@Ken *******
Works at CW and another report said Hua Hin accept it

@Ken *******
You don't have to tell me how it works. He mentioned 7 days before when you need the old fashioned bank statement, not the one from Bangkok Banks app.
