I am preparing to apply for my first non O visa in Jomtien, then in less than 3 months apply for the extension based on retirement. Comments from a previous post say i need the bank account with the 800k transferred in from abroad, i was of the understanding you only needed this for the extension and having matured for 60 days first. I tried to open a bank account with Bankok bank and they said i need my visa printed out ( not a problem) and my passport verified by immigration??? Excuse my ignorance but for this do i just wander down to immigration hand my passort over and say "
verify this please"? Or am i missing something, anyone else done this.
EDIT: GOT MY RESIDENCE CERTIFICATE AND THE BANK ACCEPTED IT, OPENED BANK ACCOUNT ALL IS GOOD IN THE WORLD. THANKYOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP
