Monthly International Transfers for Visa Extensions

For those using this method be advised BKK Bank has changed their documentation for such proof, from what was used previously. I was informed this today after a visit to my branch in Khon Kaen. If more information is desired, I can post the details, if this is not deleted in the meantime.

For some reason, his name didn't get tagged, so he couldn't see it.

As long as this isn't a transferwise conundrum feel free to post what you found out AND realize it might not be countrywide at every Bangkok Bank

There is no issue with that. All of the funds are shown as international transfer, I don't use BKK BNK in NYC.

It is not about TransferWise. I don't use it. All my transfers are direct wire transfers from my American Bank to BKK Bank & are show as "Internal Transfers" on my BKK BNK internet activity page. Good point about if this is a system-wide standard from BKK BNK.

Bangkok Bank Mae Sot printed out all 12 months of activity and provided a separate signed certification letter of the balance that day. 100 THB. This was for my retirement extension last month.

Previously there was a single page document only listing the required 12 months of deposits & shown as international transfers. The document I was given today showed a listing of ALL account activity per each month IE ATM activity & transfers of money within Thailand on the same page. Internal transfers were show as “FOREIGN T/T”. There was no waiting to get the doc & the cost was 100 bht, signed by the bank officer. I can post a pdf of this tomorrow when I get to the internet shop to copy it. I will be taking this to immigration in a couple of weeks to see if it is acceptable. My extension is due in April & I will be changing from retirement to marriage.
