@Barry *******
that will be fine. The update on your bank book just needs to show the balance on the day is above limits. Don't forget to get a photocopy done.

The statement is historical info over the year to show you've kept the account within limits required.

The letter is basically saying you have an account and this is the balance.

12 months.

They want to see the balance for each month, to satisfy themselves that the balance hasn't dropped below limits.

The letter confirms the balance at the time of issue.

Statement and letter 'typically' valid for 7 days. TiT

Bank book, just needs to show an update on the day. Can be done at many branch ATM's

A suggestion, check to see if you can make an online appointment at your IO. Can save a lot of time

it's the 800k route if he isn't married to a Thai, which can drop to 400k for the middle part of the visa but has to be back up to 800k.

The 400k route you mention requires marriage

Perhaps check with your bank. Depending on which branch you opened your account with and where you are asking, it can take 5 working days for them to process the internal paperwork. Others can do it all in a day...

@David ******
he's correct 400k is the minimum. 800k the start and finish
