Why is Bangkok Bank not issuing the 65K visa support letter?

@Carsten ***********

a bank letter i already had.Still refuse my printout.

@Luigi **********

obviously you know nothing about Thailand. Have you ever even been here? Stop Tolling Fool.

@Nick ******

I think you're missing a cog in the works. I've lived in Thailand for over a quarter of a century, and I opened my first Savings account at BBL Bank in 2000. After a few months, I decided to close it and choose other banks to simplify my operations. Try to keep your feet on the ground, and don't let your bald imagination run wild.

If BBL had operated as other banks in Thailand have, registering customer data with all the necessary precautions, including facial recognition, the scam wouldn't have happened today. BBL and its employees, in an attempt to attract large numbers of customers, opened haphazard savings accounts.

@Pertti ************

but not all immigration offices will except this method.

Hua Hin does

@Brad ******

Can you please what Hua Hin Immigration does? Thanks.

@Martin *********

I did now switch banks, there is no choice for me.

Sending from the US

- WISE routes through Kbank and does not arrive at BBL as International source of funds.

- JP Morgan Chase SWIFT transfer to BBL arrive labeled BAHTNET which BBL says cannot be certified as an international source of funds.

I have switched to depositing in Kbank since they still label the funds as international.

No doubt the next extension application appointment may be trying.

@Sean *********

I noticed this. BKK bank, used like your name, and first name. Now they changed the name of my account, exactly like passport. Then my money from Wise, came back, as unknown person. From the moment, I delete the old beneficiary in Wise, and created, with name in Passport, the transfer, was not international any more, but local

@Peter ******

Some immigration offices do require it, as they don't want to search through potentially dozens of pages of bank statements to find the transfers.

@Brandon ***********

I highlight mine and no problems

@Brandon ***********

That is why, I do as little on the account, where I get my transfers on, and have another, for my expenses.

@Peter ******

yes 40k monthly here spouse visa is ok. Just checked and friend doing same for years👍 I have different visa but have been comparing options..

@Pete ******

qualify? What does that mean?

Do you mean do I have 12 monthly international deposits? Yes I do! 2nd year on the monthly deposit method

@Charles *********

yes. I did it that way as well. Comes to your email fairly quickly

@Pete ******

correct information

@Andy *******

not just a Pattaya issue. Bangkok Bank in both Buriram and Bangkok refused to provide the ‘Credit Advice Letter’ for 12 monthly deposits that Immigration is requesting.

@Pete ******

its simple, BBL is not issuing the ‘Certificate of Deposit’ to certify 12 monthly foreign deposits. At least not at the branch I have checked.

@Sean *********

the certificate of deposit has nothing to do with 12 monthly foreign deposits, it merely confirms your account balance at date of letter. A Credit Advice Note maybe what people are referring to as “the Immigration letter” for the 65k extension option.

@Pete ******

correct, so I do understand why you brought it up in response to the a post about 12 monthly 65k deposits

And yes the ‘Credit Advice Letter’ previously certified the 12 monthly foreign deposits,

@Sean *********

here is what I don’t understand. Why are you asking Bangkok Bank for a credit advice note? Your 12 month bank statement will show all foreign transfers coded as FTT. If you have a foreign transfer not coded FTT it has nothing to do with Bangkok Bank. It has to do with the method you used to transfer which went via another bank. That is the bank you need to contact to get the credit advice note showing the foreign transfer and then the domestic transfer to your Bangkok Bank account. If none of the 12 month transfers are coded by BB as FTT you will need a credit advice note for each transfer. So again I don’t know why you are asking Bangkok Bank for something that has nothing to do with them.

@Pete ******

ummm because that is what immigration asked me to provide.

Your are correct that the problem began because WISE made a change and started routing through K-bank September 2025.

Therefore I currently have 4 monthly correctly labeled as ‘Foreign T/T’ and September & October incorrectly.

I request a ‘Credit Advice Letter’ for the 1st 4 deposits in Bangkok who directed me to the account branch in Buriram. Buriram also was not able or willing to provide the letter. BBL instead provided 4 individual credit notes.

K-bank also provide a credit note for the September deposit (only when I found my way to their ‘International Service branch’ in Bangkok. Again BBL displayed absolutely no interest in assisting me to tie the K-bank credit note to the local deposit from K-bank to BBL.

There I made additional foreign deposit directly in K-bank for September and October and will continue the balance of the year.

Adding receipts for the transfer out each month from WISE to show the funds directed to BBL Or K-bank

And statement covering the individual months in question for each bank with the deposits highlighted for the immigration officer.

BTW - tried several other method of transferring funds to BBL and none of them have been labeled correctly as FTT since the start of this issue in September

Last year there was no issue getting the certifications needed from BBL

@Pete ******

what do you mean no change. They have totally changes it. They want you to sign promise not and keep money longer than immigration rules for deposit. They changed game totally. Now they get an immigration officer enforcer badge as well 555. Wonder why so many people have closed their accts. It was not because of their good service
