Just stopped into Jomtien Immigration to show them my bank books to see if it was good enough for this years extension based on being over 50.3 guys in front of me had letters from the bank and were turned away for things like one month it wasn’t enough transferred the guy next to me had his 800k and a letter they made him go get his bank book.Finally I showed the girl my Bb’s and explained that I have been bringing in more than 65K a month but did it every 3-4 months for 7 years then I showed that I was transferring my pension now every month but only started two months ago as you stopped the Embassy letters and would this be ok for this year as I’m due in August it was a big NO must be one full year and said 800k or go to another country and get an O visa WOW maybe things will change as we go along but there were a lot of upset people😩😩😩
TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat shared their frustrating experience at Jomtien Immigration while trying to present bank books for a visa extension based on being over 50. Despite demonstrating consistent financial inflow and starting monthly pension transfers, the immigration officer rejected their request, stating the requirement for a full year of such transfers or an 800,000 baht balance. This led to disappointment among other applicants who faced similar issues.
