Hi all. A question for people on Thai Marriage Visas.
When putting in our yearly extension of stay, there seems to be a paradox between my SCB account and Immigration. Immigration wants to see a transaction on my savings account showing the same day as the Immi appointment, but the SCB doesn't show transactions on statement printouts for 24hrs, making it impossible to show a transaction the same day as the Immi appointment.
We have had this same issue for some years now, just wondering if anyone knows the best way to get the application right without having to leave and come back the following day?
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.
TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a yearly extension of stay on a Thai Marriage Visa, expats face a challenge with aligning bank transaction records with Immigration requirements. Specifically, Immigration requires a transaction on the same day as the appointment, but SCB Bank does not show transactions on statement printouts for 24 hours. Suggestions from the community include updating the bank book on the day of the application, making a small deposit or withdrawal to ensure there is a clear transaction recorded, and possibly obtaining a 1-year transaction history in advance. It is also recommended to approach Immigration a day prior to handle bank statements and ensure that all documentation is prepared correctly to avoid complications.
