Will the bank need to provide a new letter and statement for visa renewal if the bank book is updated?
Hey all, hubby couldn’t get his annual Visa renewal done today as although we got bank letter and statement, his bank book wasn’t updated with today’s date! 🤦♀️ so we’ve got to go back again tomorrow! 🙄 my question is will we also now need the bank to give us another letter and statement so the dates and balances all match, or once bank book is updated can we just use the letter & statement they gave us today!? 🤔 (we use monthly payment method and this is our 3rd year renewal)
Summary so far
A user mentions having trouble with their husband's annual visa renewal due to an outdated bank book. They ask if a new letter and statement from the bank are necessary after updating the bank book, prompting responses regarding typical requirements for bank documentation, variations among immigration offices, and suggestions to check with local officials.

Call your local immigration office and ask them. Our office has to be a letter and book dated same day.

@David *****
at most offices the bank letter/statement is good for 7 days from the date they're issued BUT it's office specific, SOME offices want the letter, the statement dated the day you apply for the extension

Tomorrow I go to Sisaket to check in & we are applying for the marriage visa. Any idea WHY there's NO info on the website? We got the list of requirements last time but it woulda been easier to look online.

Ernie Johnson Because each office is different, that's why. ;)

Ernie Johnson most immigration offices don't have information on their websites, and those that do is not trustworthy as it's early updated.

Why didn't you just go update the bank book and go back to the office to continue the application process? You're far from the first foreigner who didn't know they had to do that, and officers usually just tell you go update the book and come right back You should have asked the immigration officer BEFORE you left on your failed attempt if you need a new bank letter/statement BUT at most offices you can have a bank letter and statement be up to 7 days old Best of luck with it, you should check with the immigration office you use because there are over 80 offices in the country

thanks 🙏 yeah I know, rookie mistake! 🫣 it was already late afternoon, so no time to drive into town and make it back before closing 😥

Yvette Shrimpton ... update the book at the nearest PUM/ATM, no need to go to the branch to update it.

@Paul ******
it's especially handy for people who have bank accounts at banks that no longer have branches here in bangkok at the government complex immigration office. That way you can update your bank book anywhere and then go to immigrations for your extensionPaul *******
@Tod ********
thanks tod this is great information not only for myself but other people alsoTod *********
@Paul ******
you find a Passbook update machine, and you update the bank book at it. Many branches have them outside the bank some times you have to do a transaction (put money in or take money out) to get the machine to print the current balance
