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?

@Álex *******
you can continue to apply for a yearly extension year after year, one after another as long as you meet the requirements each time

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
