ORIGINAL POSTER

Having been told that I had to request a bank statement and letter 2 weeks before required I duly turned up yesterday at Bangkok Bank in Korat to be told I had to come in on the day it was needed at Immigration. Wish they'd make their minds up.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The experience shared highlights confusion over the timing of obtaining a bank statement and letter for immigration purposes in Thailand. The individual was instructed to request these documents two weeks in advance but was later told that they needed to be obtained on the exact day of the immigration appointment. Comments from other users provide additional insights that most immigration offices accept a bank letter that is no older than 7 days, while the bank's statement or book must be updated on the day of the application. Users also point out discrepancies in the enforcement of these rules.

Most immigration offices will allow a bank letter to be no older than 7 days, some require it the day you apply, ALL require your bank book to be updated the date you apply.

We're done.

I got hit for 8K Baht because I did not have 12 months of income, even after showing the letter from immigration telling them to be lenient.

There is 2 things here.

1. The letter you need is confirmation that you have an account which immigration will/should accept within 7 days.

2. The bank statement/bank book needs to be updated on the day you apply so immigration can see you have the money on the day.

The next time you visit the bank just tell them you are going to immigration that day, they won’t know.
