Further Document Request London:

While most of the documents they have requested are easy to fulfill the one i'm having trouble with is: 'Please visit your UK/Ireland local Bank Branch get the print out of your Personal bank statements with the official stamp and minimum closing balance of 11,000 GBP ,balance within last 30 days and should be hold at least 10 days'

I have the required amount and have held it for many months so that requirement is fine. Only problem is my bank is First Direct in the UK, a digital only bank with no physical bank. I have spoke to customer support and they say they cant provide a stamped bank statement, I even called HSBC the parent company and they said they cant fulfill this either.

I originally uploaded the bank statements as pdfs that I downloaded from my online banking. I have asked AI and its told me to get a paper statement mailed from First Direct and then scan this and attatch a short cover letter explaining the situation, but I can't see why that would be any different to the original pdf I downloaded from my online banking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😃

*BANK STATEMENTS - HIGHLIGHTING BUSINESS PAYMENTS*

I can download pdf bank statements from my UK bank, but I can't find a way to electronically highlight business invoice payments on these statements because the bank pdf statements are blocked from editing.

Has anyone found a useful workaround for this?

Recommendations for an esim for UK banking, best compatible phone and advice as not very tech savvy,

Thank you 😞

Slightly off topic but a segment off requirements for a long term extension. I am UK based passport bank account etc. For transferring the required sums I have hit a brick wall with my bank. They do not send money to Thailand. I am looking for recommendations for a 3rd party way, any recommendations from people in the same situation would be very much appreciated

Can anyone advise on a good credit card Uk based that won’t give me problems using it in thailand? MBNA security is not working for me and I need a better provider so very interested in hearing anyone’s experiences

I am looking for some information please. I will have around 200,000GBP when I move to Thailand. Can anyone give me an idea of the best rate of interest I can get from a bank. TIA.

Hi, not visa related.

My bank has informed me that it will close my account when I move to Thailand (won't allow a current account if I no longer live in the UK, I can have an international account with £100,000 deposit and charge £7 a month to use it!)

I have looked around Google, but now my head hurts! 😳😫🤣

Any advice in keeping a UK account while living in Thailand will be much appreciated 👍

(Edit included)

I haven't told my bank, it's information I read on their site, technically I will have a uk address, my son is buying my share of the house and living in it.
