Hi,

I have done some searching of old posts on here and think I have my answer ..... but I sort of need to ask still and be reasured .... sorry.

I have a 12 month Non O visa .... secured with a 800,000 baht deposit and am transiting to a 65,000 monthly deposit.

But .... I have neglected to update my bank book and lost 4 months of banking life. 

Will this be a problem at my renewal in February or are the bank statements the key record and the deposit book more about the last entry pre applying for a renwal ... ie money is still in the accout.

Thanks so much.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about not updating their bank book while holding a 12-month Non-O visa, which requires financial proof for renewal. Comments suggest that the bank statements are critical for the renewal process, and users advised that missing transactions can be obtained from the bank. Specific requirements may vary by immigration office, but in most cases, a detailed transaction history demonstrating compliance with financial rules is essential.

You need to check with your immigration office as policies vary but at Hua Hin office only the bank statement and a copy of the final book balance along with the certification letter matter.

have extended at HH for the last 8 yrs. You need to copy all the available bank book pages for the year but it is not a problem if you have not updated the book regularly just update on the day you go and get the certificate letter. The letter and update is good for 7 days.

I only update my bank book once a year on the day I go to get my new extension of stay. It's not a problem, the bank statements are what's important

You can ask for a 1-year transaction record to your bank branch when you apply for the next extension.

You have to show you have international transfer(s) of 65K baht every month for your next extension. Also have to show you have never dropped below 400K baht for the year after you kept 800K baht for three months to keep your current extension valid.

Both have to be shown in detailed transaction history. Lump sum record in your passbook wouldn't work.

, yes. In case you submit the documents to the immigration office on a different day from 1-year statements were issued, you need to update your bankbook on the day of application.
