Did my first 90 day report at yasothon IO today.The IO asked for my bank statements ,new rule, to check that I’d maintained my balance as required
Answer summary
Recent changes at immigration offices have introduced a requirement for bank statements when submitting a 90-day visa report in Thailand, particularly for those on retirement extensions utilizing the 800k THB method. This has raised concerns among expats, as different offices may apply rules inconsistently. Many users shared their experiences, noting that such checks may not have been typical in the past. Some suggested that this procedural change could be aimed at ensuring compliance, especially for new visa holders, while others emphasized the importance of having valid bank statements ready during these reports.

Every year have to get letter from the bank stating moneys been in for 3 months. Then on the first 90 day report have to provide bank book with new update showing moneys still there. Been this way for at least 5 years

Hello, I am a little bit confused and worried at the same time here, problem so I live in Prachinburi. Burnia, although they mess me a bell and get in my year extension.Being married to my Thai wife i read so much about other centres requiring extra information when reporting the 90 day. I applied in january.I gave me too extensions.I need to start the paperwork out.So it was end of february.Before I got the year stamp, it expires next january twenty seventh but I recently have to go back to get a certificate for my Driving Licence. I was applying for but why I was there. Although separately still four weeks before I was due to the ninth favourite report, they told me just to sign a farm.And I can do it online next time? Didn't do any extra paperwork, just one Sheet did I miss something or are they being very nice.Yeah, it seems like on hear people talk about extra length, loops jumping through when reporting ?

the requirement to show your bank balance at the 90 report if for a over 50 or retirement visa ext only.

If you done one 90 day report already you can do the report online. I dont know the website, but this site or Google help you.

well, if that was your first 90-days report after you got issued the 1-year extension of stay permit, then this is the bankbook check if you have followed the rules for the upkeep of the 800,000 THB for a minimum of 3 months, during which the deposit cannot fall below 800,000 THB

They know when they see the bank book so strange . If you do the the 90 day on line they won’t know !! Different offices have different requests. In Sriracha I have to update my bank book three months after my visa .

Ian Dyson don’t give up just follow the instructions carefully. It’s definitely worth trying again . The only time it doesn’t work is if you re enter the country then you have to report the next 90 days at the office . After that it should work normally

Andy Peecpfc Youknowme only my old location in sriracha. Now in Hau Hin and here it’s not required. Best part by doing the online reporting is the immigration office remind you to complete the next one
Ron ******

Ian Carman Technically you can do every 90-day report online after that initial one, provided you remain in the country, so yes, that makes sense. For subsequent extensions you will need to provide bank statements at which time they will see that you kept the 800k for three months after the extension date.

Ron Duke What if a retirement extension (800k method) got an initial 90 day under consideration stamp then, when you go back after 90 days to get your full year stamped in, you have to show the 800k was maintained for those "3 months". Maybe this is the way things are going.

I do find that part strange. You know update your bank book. The fact i have my bank online you would think that is more acurate. Because you can go in the bank update the book then step outside and draw money from an atm.
