What are the current requirements for proving monthly income transfers for immigration in Thailand?

@Pete ******

Jomtien is famous for being one of the most "difficult" immigration offices. I wouldn't use Jomtien as a yardstick against the others. Chaengwatthana accept the 12-month statement from the app. I did my last extension about three weeks ago. Smooth

@Pete ******

Jomtien usually goes it alone and does some strange things. At least Bangkok Immigration are fairly consistent

@Roberto ********

they allowed the bank printed statement 2yrs ago here in Udon Thani. I thought we were finally seeing progress. Last year they wouldn’t accept as it had to have the “bank stamp” on it.

Apologetic but said the “Big Boss” in Bangkok changed the rule as it was too easy to fake🤷‍♂️. Also always start the process 10-14 days early for these yearly hurdles. The visa date doesn’t change you just lose some days on the 90day report.

Last year they also decided they wanted a signed copy of the Blue Book owners ID card🤷‍♂️ luckily the girlfriend was only 10min away (with book) so dropped in and it was ok. Going to be more interesting now that the office is way out of town!

The printed bank statement is allowed in Bangkok. No need for bank stamp, as the statement is verifiable by the bank book. My last extension two weeks ago was an absolute dream. 45 minutes in and out!

@Roberto ********

But immigration won't accept it. Anyone can create a bank statement. It has to be from the bank.

@Brandon ***********

*sigh* It is from the bank

@Roberto ********

I can make a bank statement in 5 minutes using a pdf editor and ChatGPT. If it's not printed and stamped by the bank it is not an authentic document and should not be accepted.

@Brandon ***********

So you're making the rules now are you? Do you know how easy it is to get a rubber stamp made? How do you make your PDF statement align with the bank book? Bangkok Bank has not stamped statements for the last three years, and now they've made them available from the app, which is being accepted by Bangkok immigration. Why does it upset you so much? Oh wait, I know already!

@Roberto ********

My branch of Bangkok Bank stamps every statement I request, the latest two weeks ago so I don’t see how your statement that Bangkok Bank has not stamped statements for the last three years can possibly be accurate. In fact it’s demonstrably false.

@Pete ******

Comparing Jomtien immigration with Bangkok immigration is of no value. I used the emailed statement earlier this year and it was readily accepted without a stamp. Jomtien doesn't have a good reputation with expats

@Pete ******

I haven't had any statement stamped for last three extensions. Why would I say that if it were not true. Plus how would I get the emailed statement stamped? If you have the bank book, it's not necessary, at least in Bangkok. Now demonstrate to me that I'm making a false statement 😂😂😂

@Stephen ********

Bangkok Bank is winding back their online banking website. They want their customers to use the app

@Det ******

Which immigration wouldn't accept it?

@Mark *******

If the immigration you use takes it, that is great.

@Mark *******

It is not in your area.

@Det ******

Bangkok Bank you can get 12 month statement from the app, although it's sent to your email address

@David ******

I know, but the immigration I use will not take it.

@Brandon ***********

Just a question if you have Bangkok bank account. Can you go into a app on your account and look at your statements.? And print out your own

@Kenneth ******

yes

@Brandon ***********

I think so. A few years ago, SCB did a 12 month statement in minutes, not seconds like it should be.
