@Karl ******

here's just one thread on the subject

@William **********

I doubt it would be acceptable. Can they provide a letter to immigration certifying your deposits and bank statements for 12 months?

@William **********

a Thai bank account of course.

@William **********

reality is immigration want to see that money in a bank account transfered from overseas

?

@Kevin ********

in that case you don't need to show the money came from overseas

@Anthony *******

get a statement from the day you opened the account then. You need to show that the money has been there for 2 calendar months before you can apply. All the certificate is going to do is guarantee the money is there on the day they write the letter

I know exactly what the police order says and I know exactly what my immigration demands. Having said that I don't think I've ever, in the last 8 years, had the funds in place a full 3 months before applying and they always give me the extension. Usually accompanied by "next year 3 months" with a smile

@Penny *****

ha ha, sorry about that. Just didn't want to give misleading information. You should be OK getting the 60 day extension "visiting Thai family" extension to give your funds time to season. Note the reason as if you just ask for it based on a Thai wife they might say no, it jusso happens in your case that your thai family is your wife

@Greg **********

you're confusing the number of statements with the period of time the funds must be in the account. Immigration want 3 months of statements in order to show the funds have been seasoned for 2 months. Every immigration office I'm aware of is happy for 2 months seasoning of funds for a 1st extension. Some, including my own, want 3 months for 2nd and subsequent extensions.
