Will immigration accept a printed bank statement for retirement visa extension from Bangkok Bank?

Bobby ********

Ok. It didn't work for me, so the OP can take a chance on what you say. It's their choice. It's just as easy for me to order 12 months statement from my local branch, which takes five days and 100 baht and I know 100% it will be accepted. I wouldn't take the chance just to save 100baht - but as I always say, each to their own

That's what I mean. It has to be printed by the bank. If you use the internet print out you still have to go to the bank to get it certified.

How can expats open a bank account in Thailand without a residency certificate?

@Christopher ******

You're better off building up your nest egg in your home country earning a slightly better interest rate (not much admittedly but everything adds up) and when you're ready for the visa transfer the 800k lump sum in one hit.

Can I show my visa on my phone upon arrival in Bangkok if I cannot print it out?

Bobby ********

On the Thai side it's Aranyaprathet. It's probably the worst land border to attempt a bounce. You could well be sent to Siam Reap to get a flight back.
