Throwing my Tuppence worth into the "Great Thailand Bank Robbery", I run a few bank accounts here in Thailand. I use Bangkok Bank for my 65k monthly transfers, and withdraw a lump sum each month which I pay into my SCB account for QR code scans, the logic being when I produce the 12-month Bangkok Bank statement to immigration there's only 2-3 transactions each month so the statement is only 2-3 pages in length. This makes life easier for the IO, and subsequently makes life easier for me!

I want to pay 10,000 baht into my SCB account yesterday through a deposit ATM, and the machine wouldn't let me do this. Message said my card was not acceptable for deposits (it has been for the last 6-7 years), and that I had to report to my branch. The branch was right there at the machine so I went inside and was presented with a card, a picture of which is shown here. Apparently my passport was required to make a deposit under these new KYC regulations.

I nipped home, got my passport and returned to the branch. I watched the bank officer very carefully and observed she photocopied the data page, then went hunting for the visa. She found the right extension stamp and the most recent entry stamp and photocopied these. She then sat at her computer, rattled the keys a bit, took the 10,000, passed me a deposit slip to sign (in two places), passed everything back to me and said everything is ok now.

I tried the ATM afterwards and everything was fine.

I asked my girlfriend to call the SCB call centre, who informed her that they cannot assist with individual situations, the bank is undertaking their responsibilities under KYC and are confirming the identity and visa status of all customers, including (in the case of identity) Thai nationals.

I was asked to provide additional documents to provide proof for the source of the funds in my bank account to demonstrate that they were legitimate. I submitted a Thai bank account for my financial evidence. What does this mean? What should I submit? and has anyone gotten the same requests before?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I have traveled to Thailand several times, the first was for work, the rest because I like the country and its food. I plan to go there again but because of my age, I wonder if they will give me at least a 3-month visa.

Does anyone have an up to date, English language list of requirements needed by Jomtien immigration for a 1 year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai?

I've just been in and all they have is a list printed in Thai which seems strange as surely everyone who wants to apply will be non Thai?

With the best will in the world this isn't something my wife could confidently deal with.

Can anybody tell me do you need a return flight booked for your arrival visa ?

Hi! We are entering Thailand on a Retirement Non O.

Do we need to go to the Immigration with our TM30 to register within 24 hrs? Thank you.

Having had Visa exemption for the past few years. I have decided to obtain a 90 tourist visa so as not to abuse the system. Reading the requirements l have to report to immigration after 60 days for a 30 day extension. Can my return or onward flight be 90 days from arrival and not the 60 days before getting the extension. Thanks

Hello everyone! I just would like to know how the DTV works, I got it is for 180 days, but didnt understand really well.

I got the DTV and got 180 days in the first arrival, stayed for a month and did a trip to Japan, when I cameback I got a new stamp with more 180 days.

I saw before it would need to leave the country every 180 days, but if everytime I go travel abroad I get new 180 days, how it works, will I need to renew something at immigration?

Thank you so much!

If you request statements from Bangkok Bank do they email them or are you required to pick up at your home branch?

Good morning.

I am a extending visa nonO ( based on marriage to Thai husband)after moving to new location. Previously at Nonthaburi immigration, now it is Chaengwattana.

Do I need to bring the documents from my previous extension at Nonthaburi.

Asking the question, because this was a requirement for my first extension at Nonthaburi.

I understand each immigration office is different in it's requirements. Handouts do not mention this.

If no one knows, I shall bring all documents so that will be covered.

Thank you.
