Will an 8-day-old bank statement be accepted for my visa extension in Thailand?

If I ordered a one year bank statement (Bangkok Bank, Udon Thani) on Feb 6, will it be valid for my yearly visa extension today (Feb 13). That will be 8 days after I requested the statement. I didn't realise the banks were shut yesterday, and what confused me more was that I had a confirmed appointment at immigration.

My current extension is valid until February 26.

Thank you for any comments and advice.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired if a bank statement requested on February 6, which would be 8 days old by the time of their visa extension application on February 13, would be accepted. Community responses indicated that while the year transaction detail report should be valid, most immigration offices require a 'standard bank letter' dated within 7 days. There were additional comments about the unexpected booking situation for the immigration appointment.

Kept my Bangkok Bank for normal use. Transferred 800k to a Kasikorn account. Can get a year statement, and letter, the same day of request.

You shouldn't have a problem with the year transaction detail report being dated when it is

BUT

most offices require the 'standard bank letter' to be dated within 7 days of the application.

Strange you could book an appt online for immigrations for yesterday ๐Ÿ˜• That was blanked out on the online system and wouldn't let people book

Good Luck with your 8 day old statement.

Hopefully your Udon Thani Thai Immigration office will accept it.

Please report back what happened.
