ORIGINAL POSTER

Retirement Renewal. I know you must present evidence of 800k for 3 months after last renewal and 3 months before renewal, plus 400k throughout.  Just went to get proof statement from Bangkok Bank and they said they can only provide last 6 months.  They have to get from main branch in Bangkok,  I'm in Phuket.  Anyone else encountered this problem?

It seems to happen at many branches and it take a few days.

As you can apply between 45 days before and your last day of your current stay, there is time enough if you start early. The 1 year Extension is added to your current stay, so no losing of days by going early. And as there is no need to get a list of each and every bank branch in Thailand with their service mentioned i close this for commenting

Your local branch can / will order the statement from Bangkok. Collect from branch few days later.

So you walked in the bank, they ordered a form from Bangkok, you picked it up a few days later and that is a problem?

I asked if anyone else encountered the same problem. Clearly, if the issue is consistent across the board, people need to take it into consideration when planning a renewal.
