TLDR : 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.

@Rachel *****

that might be the rule for your immigration office but at mine (Nonthaburi) the letter is only valid on the day. Different offices, Different rules.

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.
