How long is a Bank Letter valid for when renewing a Non-Imm O Long Stay Visa in Thailand?
It's that time again. Renewing my Non-Imm O Long Stay Visa next week. Mon and Wed are holidays so planning on getting Bank Letter (confirmation) on Tuesday and then going to Immigration on Thursday morning. Question: how long is the Bank Letter valid for? Thanks in advance! (googled it but couldn't find that detail)
Answer summary
The validity of a Bank Letter when renewing a Non-Imm O Long Stay Visa in Thailand typically varies depending on the immigration office. In Bangkok, it is valid for 7 days from the issuance date, but some users have reported that it may effectively expire on the 7th day, making it valid only for 6 days. It's also important to consider that requirements may differ across the 70+ immigration offices in Thailand.

The rules say that a bank letter is valid for 7 days. But we went to CM on the 7th day and were refused. They said that the letter expires ON the 7th day. ... so only valid for 6 days.

Because the letter issue date is day 1 same as other immigration things. So it's 7 days validity.
And some other offices set the validity 3 days, a few others set it only the day of application.

News Flash; Monday (May 2) is labor day and NOT a government worker holiday just May 4th this coming week
Did you wanna mention which of the 70+ immigration offices in the country you might be using?
The validity of the bank letter varies office by office.
In Bangkok the bank letter is good for 7 days from the date it's issued.
Also IF you are using banked money method and don't have a fixed account you will need a year detail transaction print out and some banks take 5 days to get that for you (but some can print it on the spot)
The bank letter AND the year detail transaction print out look like this.
