Some weeks ago I read on this group about banks not issuing bank statements or current balance statements unless the funds had been in deposit for four months or more. This caused concern because some extensions of stay require only 60 days of funds in deposit (maybe others 90). But is this 4 month bank requirement still on? Or has this gone away?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Recently, concerns arose about Bangkok Bank's policy regarding fund deposits for bank statements required by immigration. It was mentioned that a 4-month fund requirement still exists for new accounts at Bangkok Bank, which could complicate extensions of stay that may only require 60 or 90 days of funds. However, this policy is not universally applied, as it only affects those needing a letter from Bangkok Bank with funds that have not been deposited for at least four months. Other banks are reportedly more accommodating for expats.
