ORIGINAL POSTER
I am working on my retirement Visa extention. Bangkok Bank Jomtiem has been taking care of the financial reports.

Two days now I have been told my paperwork would be prepared and waiting from the other branch and still waiting for it to come.

But I am told I now need to pay 1000bt. 100 bt a transaction over six months.

Anyone heard that one before?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is seeking clarification on charges related to financial documentation required for a retirement visa extension at Bangkok Bank, specifically regarding a fee of 100 baht per transaction for six months of financial reports. Responses indicate that such fees may be standard, and experiences vary from different users, with some reporting a total cost of around 600 baht for documentation, while others suggest the charged fee is unusually high.

Again...may I suggest you post this question over at Transferwise Solutions. They deal with banking and immigration documentation often. Especially as the OP question involves Jomtien Immigration Office and many members of Transferwise are also using Jomtien.

I've heard 500 baht, but not this per transaction crap.

When I obtained the letter from my Bangkok Bank branch here in Pattaya last June, I paid 500 baht for them to print out the Credit Advices - one for each foreign source (FTT code) deposit for the preceding 12 months (there were over 20 deposits) - from these advices, they prepared the letter for Immigration listing all foreign deposits for the 12 month period - the fee was 100 baht for the letter. So, the total I paid was 600 baht - I was under the impression the 500 baht fee for printing out the advices was the standard fee without regard to the number involved.

I've heard similar reports of pricing to your 500 baht experience.

Yes Jim I was already at the bank!

The 100 bt for each transaction is my question now

You need documentation for 12 months of international transfers.
Paul ********
Yes, that's fairly standard

So in other words instead of paying the $50 for the statement from the Embassy we will make it up on 100 bt fees for all the papers we need now?

If that is what Bangkok Bank says...that is what you pay to get the reports.

You might want to ask your question over at the Facebook forum :

Transfer wise Solutions. They are active with banking processes involving retirement visa extensions and its documentation.
