What are the requirements for using bank statements when applying for a visa extension based on monthly deposits and an e-passbook?

Question

When providing bank statements for visa extension (e.g. annual extension based on Thai wife):
-if using the monthly deposit method rather than seasoned ฿400,000 method, is the statement up to date of application still required, or earlier in current month ok, as long as it shows the deposit in current month?
-can a bank account without a passbook be used? I've moved bank accounts to SCB, and they've given me an 'e-passbook', essentially it's passbook cover page with account number, but no pages for showing transactions /balance, but can generate statement to pdf. So if I used that account for immigration, I can't provide the updated passbook, as the account doesn't have one.

When applying for a visa extension based on marriage to a Thai citizen, you may use the monthly deposit method instead of showing a seasoned balance of ฿400,000. However, it's essential to ensure that the bank statement shows recent deposits from the current month at the time of the application. If using a bank account without a passbook, like an 'e-passbook' from SCB that lacks transaction pages, it's crucial to confirm with your immigration office whether they will accept this documentation. Generally, you might need to provide a detailed 12-month transaction report and a bank letter confirming your account balance on the application date.

You definitely need to go to your immigration office and make sure they'll accept monthly income method for extension based on marriage to a thai by international transfer.. 😮

While there is nothing written in the immigration rules prohibiting it, some offices will not allow monthly income by international transfer for marriage extensions and you have only banked money method or monthly income by legally working in thailand

You need to show a year-detail transaction report that has every transaction on the account (including the transfers marked as international origin) for the previous 12 months.

I would say you'd need to have the bank write the bank letter stating the balance on that account the DAY you apply
