Why do I need a letter from immigration to open a bank account after moving across Thailand?
FYI moved from Phrae to Mae Rim ( Chiang Mai) did TM 30 all good , want open bank account same bank different branch ,told need letter from immigration, went to CM immigration to be told I must go to Phrae as they issued the extension. Didn't see that one coming, go to Phrae to get letter saying I live in MaeRim!!!!!!!
Answer summary
After moving from Phrae to Mae Rim in Chiang Mai and completing the TM30 form, the user faced difficulties opening a bank account at a different branch of the same bank. They were informed that they needed a letter from immigration but were told that because the extension was issued in Phrae, they must return there to obtain the letter. Community comments highlight the confusion and inconvenience caused by this requirement, emphasizing that the change of address should have sufficed.

that's crazy, you filed a TM30 which changed your actual address from Phrae to Chiang Mai. They should have done the certificate for you there.. Sending you back to Phrae when you have a C/M address doesn't make any sense at all
BUT thanx for the post and update about it
