Hi one and all.

I'm on a 90 day O Visa based on retirement and next Friday (16th) I will be applying for a one year extension (first time). My current visa expires on February 26th.

Yesterday I went to the Bangkok Bank (the bank where my account is held) near Udon Thani immigration and asked for an account statement. They asked for my passport and I hadn't brought it with me. My brain was in UK mode and I didn't even consider taking it. I opened my account two months ago and the bank clerk said she could print me a statement when I bring in my passport. That wasn't possible yesterday and so I'm planning to return on Monday.

I'd like to ask if a printed statement from the bank, rather than one from Bangkok Bank's head office, will be acceptable to immigration..

A few other questions if I may.

Can photocopies (e.g. Passport) be in black and white?

Where do I place my signature on the photocopies, top or bottom?

On the day I apply for the one year statement I know I need to update my bank book and get a letter from the bank. Can I ask for the letter on the day of my application or do I need to order it beforehand? Also, what type of letter do I ask for?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

I need photocopies and passport photos for immigration. Am I correct in thinking this can be done in Chaengwattana but not in Muang Thong Thani?
