ORIGINAL POSTERCan someone please clarify what the Bank Statement Dates on the 12 months of statements required for non o retirement (800k method) extension need to be ? this is my second extension )
ie; my expiry date is April 29 and when statements arrive (in two or three days ) the statements will read today’s date (20) . however , I will only be able to apply on either 25 or 28 April .
I will get bank book updated ,and letter on the day of application at immigration.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Non-O Retirement Visa extension using the 800k method, it is important to ensure that the bank statements cover the required 12-month period. Most immigration offices accept bank transaction details that are up to 7 days old at the time of application. Therefore, it's advisable to update your bank book on the day of your application and present a year transaction details report along with a standard bank letter. Make sure to apply before your visa expires to avoid complications.

My visa expired 12 April, in Hua Hin can apply 45 days early, I applied early March after doing monthly transfer, 12 months statements accepted not showing April transfer.

you need a year transaction detail report printed by the bank AND the standard bank letter
MOST offices allow those reports to be up to 7 days old when you apply for the extension, you have to update your bank book the day you apply

the immigration office in Hua Hin accepts the bank letter, updated pass book and a 3 month statement for an extension based on retirement. They can all be from the day before. Just FYIJohn **********
@Jack *******
is that not just for the 1st 12 month extension?Jack ********
@John *********
for the first and subsequent extensions based on 800K the year statement isn’t required. Bangkok Bank takes a week or so to generate it so I don’t get one and my mates also extend every year without the yearly statement. For the 65K method Bangkok bank will issue a years worth of ‘credit advice’ on the same day. But that’s different than the yearly statement

I don't know what else is you go to about 800k method in Bangkok requires yearly detailed statements...Unless the bank book has been updated at the early and doesn't have any summarized transactions....

@Jack *******
that is totally NOT the norm for yearly extensions of stays based on bank money method 😮 Most all immigration offices require the bank print the 3 month yearly transaction report for the first year extension (when you need the banked money seasoned 2 months before you apply)
AND
Then they require a year detail transaction report printed for subsequent yearly extensions based on banked money because that's the only way to check you kept the 800K baht in the account for 3 months after the extension was issued and then never let the balance go below 400k baht the rest of the year
Unless you have an account you just "Park" the 800K baht in most offices ALL require that detail transaction report

I totally agree it’s not the norm . After doing my local research though the yearly statement isn’t required in Hua Hin. They do have the bank book which may or may not show the balance after every transaction. My balance never went below 800K and my non o was issued in the same office. This might have come into the equation? I went in 40 days early just in case they wanted the yearly statement which they didn’t ask for.

@Jack *******
the problem with a bank book is if you don't update it often enough it will summarize transactions and it cannot show if it went below and got topped up again.John **********
@Jack *******
I'm surprised. How do they ensure you meet the terms of the extension you are currently on? I can understand it for the first but not subsequent extensions. I also use Bangkok Bank so I'm aware of the 5 working days to get a statement but this is the first time I've ever heard of an immigration office not requiring such statementsJack ********
@John *********
I will try to get the ‘handout’ from them and upload it bossReply to
