Is it difficult to obtain a bank letter and statements from a different branch when applying for a retirement extension in Thailand?
Question, if i open a bank account in pattaya, but apply for retirement extension from another province, how hard is it to get the bank letter and 12 monthly bank statements from another branch than the branch in the other province not where your account is at?
Answer summary
The consensus among commenters is that obtaining a bank letter from a different branch than the one where the account was opened is generally not difficult, especially if you choose a larger branch. However, some caution is advised as different provinces may have varying rules regarding the issuance of documents.

No issue with BKK bank at all.

Try to open the account near your home. Many branches will send you to your home branch for the letter, as my did on Pattaya Nua.

I had no issues getting the document from a Bangkok Bank branch in Hua Hin even though my main branch, the one where I initially opened the account, was in Bangkok.

Makes no difference

No problem with the letter, best to go to a fairly big branch where you live. They will have the secretarial backup. I bank with BKK but cannot answer regarding the statements as my local immigration offices do not ask for those.

Shouldn't matter, as far as I know.
