Heads up.

Just went to the Nonthaburi immigration office to get the paper work list for O A extension.

All normal EXCEPT they insist the bank letter MUST be issued the day you apply. That sucks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
At the Nonthaburi immigration office, it is mandatory that the bank letter for the O-A visa extension must be issued on the same day as the application. This has been a topic of discussion among expats, with some noting that other offices may have different policies, allowing bank letters to be issued up to 7 days prior as long as the bank book update is done the same day.

This seems to be office specific. Some allow the bank letter to be up to 7 days prior - but the bank book update to be that day.

That’s the way Bangkok’s Division 1 office did for me.

well I know every immigration is different but I thought that was a nationwide thing. You were lucky then. But I guess its joined the other immigration place

yep. My new favourite thing to tell people is. Don't even try to understand it. Just roll with the punches. And randomness. Haha.

Would be better if they were pragmatic and accepted the day before
