What documents do I need for financial proof when extending my OA visa in Thailand?

Hi. I'm going to Immigration Division 1 first week of October to extend my current stamp valid until Oct 31 granted under OA visa. I think I got all the requirements in order. Insurance ready and 800K++ in the Thai bank since December 2023.

But I'm a bit confused about what documents I need to provide for the financial proof. Bank book isnt enough? Do I need the inward international transfer receipt? Is that ok that transfer was made on December 2023?

I read something about I need to request an additional letter from the bank. What is this letter exactly? How old can this document be issued since I will submit all the documents on the first week of October.

I would appreciate any clarification on this matter. Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user plans to extend their OA visa and seeks clarification on the required financial documents. They are unsure about the necessity of providing a bank book, international transfer receipts, and whether a bank letter is needed. The comments indicate that for a first extension, a detailed three-month transaction report and a standard bank letter are required, which can be up to 7 days old. Additionally, the user queries if they can continue extending the visa annually as long as they meet requirements.

. Yes it's gonna be the first one.

One last question, can I keep extending it year after year meanwhile I fulfill the requirements? or is it a just one time extension accepted before applying for a new OA visa again?

Is this your FIRST yearly extension on that OA at the immigration office inside the country?

If it is you need to get a print out of the detail transaction report for the last 3 months and get the "regular" bank letter .

The transaction report and the regular bank letter can be up to 7 days old but you need to update your bank book the day you apply for the extension

This is an example of a 'regular' bank letter
