Just curious if anyone has a copy of the template that immigration requires for the bank letter when providing proof of monthly income.

I went to Bangkok bank and they are doing my 12 month statement now, but they didn’t know about the letter. They just gave me a letter stating my bank account number and that I’m the owner of that account

I’m not sure if that’s what immigration wants or not. I’ve read that immigration has a template for the bank to use

Thanks in advance

BTW. This is for renewal of Non O Retirement, monthly income greater than 65k

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the requirements for a bank letter needed to prove monthly income for the renewal of a Non-O Retirement visa in Thailand, specifically noting that the letter should certify account ownership and confirm a monthly transfer of at least 65,000 THB. Various comments suggest that different banks may have varying knowledge about the specific requirements, with recommendations for using Bangkok Bank or banks near the Chaeng Wattana immigration office. Additionally, it is noted that the bank letter does not require a minimum balance and should be prepared on the same day as the bank statement or be dated close to that time.

Are you in Bangkok? I experienced it before. Other banks in the city will just give you the bank statements they normally give. Sad to say the immig is looking for another type of bank statement.

The banks at Chaeng Wattana, below the immig office knows exactly what the immig is looking for. It will just take them 10-20 mins to process, so you can go there instead.

You will need several documents from the bank. Unfortunately, I dont have a scan of those. And yes, Bangkok Bank might not know what you are asking until you show them. You can get a sample picture at the Immigration.

This is a standard agreement between all banks and immigration.

Just ask someone at BKK who knows what they are doing.

You want a years statement showing 12XFTT transfers of 65k +.

This normally takes a week and costs a 100 Baht or so.

It really is that simple

 The bank letter is done on the day you go and collect your year's statement to confirm all is on order.

Speak to the organ grinder and not the monkey at your BKK Bank who knows what they are doing.

It's a letter which certifies account number 123xyz belongs to Jo Bloggs and has a balance of xxx baht. It doesn't need to reference the 12-month statement, as the account number already does this. The bank letter has to be dated either on the day (or the previous day, depending on immigration office), the statement can be up to seven days old. Also update your bankbook on the day. Sometimes they want to see it, other times they don't, but be prepared

 ok. Cool, that’s what they gave me, but sounds like I’ll still have to go get another new one since my statement doesn’t come in until next week

 Your statement has to be from the bank and stamped/verified. You get it at the same time as the letter. Immigration won't accepted a statement printed off your account

 Different immigration offices have different rules. Bangkok want statements printed within the last seven days before your appointment. The letter has to be on the day or the day before. Passbook must be updated on the day. That's for Bangkok.

 you need one statement for the last 12 months (which usually takes a week if with BKK bank) and then another statement detailing all the FTTs from the previous statement(which they usually need 1 day to do)
