Can anyone explain to me the poof of income letter from my bank confirming income of over 65k per month from foreign transfer.

I have had the most frustrating morning, firstly I went to the Bangkok Bank branch in Central Festival. Yes can do letter, sign some forms and come back in 90 mins, pay 100 baht. Half hour later I get a phone call, no cannot do letter, must go to branch where account was opened. Ok no real problem, off to Pattaya Klang.

Now the fun begins only one teller at the counter and took over an hour to sort this simple task, by now the queue was out the door behind me, people were clearly angry. After all this I’m still left without the letter and told to come back tomorrow. She said must pay 600 baht, I couldn’t understand for what🤔All I want is a print out of 12 transfers and the letter confirming it’s my account  and costs 100 baht right?? Is this not a common request at banks?

I do it with SCB that holds my account. They need advice slips to show it come s from abroad. Such slips have to be obtained from HQ in Bkk if more than 2 months old which most clearly are. The first time is always the worst time. To smooth things along next year you may wish to visit your bank every month after payment is made to obtai n an advice slip. When you wish to renew you can present the 12 slips to the teller. By the way when I renewed mine couple months back they needed bank statements for 12 months showing the corresponding deposit and imm asked to see who provided the money - in my case, my pension provider. Make it easy for your bank.

Go back as instructed and get the letter needed. Pay the fee and be thankful if you get the report needed for Thai Immigration.

Good Luck.

Yeh I will go back tomorrow, just don’t understand why it was a different cost at two branches and it wasn’t understood as a simple task for the teller. My TM7 is dated for today, will I need to do another tomorrow James?

Transferwise for long term stay, all my entries are FTT. Bangkok Bank in Central had no problem understanding what I wanted, the only problem was that it wasn`t my original branch.
