For a non-O based on being married to a Thai, generally there is no requirement to show the money came from abroad.

For specific requirements for your immigration, you NEED to go to immigration and ask for their handout which lists requirements for the specific application you want to submit.

Immigration does not have late fees. The only fees immigration charges is 2000 baht for a visa, and 1900 baht for an extension. The only "late" fee at immigration is 500 baht per day if you overstay your visa.

@Ronnie ******

the fees don't increase, unless you mean agent fees.

800,000 for what?

If trying to convert from tourist to non-O visa inside of Thailand, a common requirement is to be shown that it's an international transfer.

If trying to apply for the 1-year extension, it's not a common requirement to show that.

That's not a uniquely Thailand thing. Any country can have thieving bank employees. But there's no grand conspiracy for banks to steal from customers in Thailand.

@Steve *******

Visa exempt is legitimate. But tourists are not meant to stay in Thailand long-term. They are warned the same as people with visa exempt. Tourist entry is tourist entry.

@Phil *****

So she co-signed for a loan, and then the person who was supposed to pay didn't, and they took it from her account? Doesn't exactly seem like theft. Seems like she's not good at decision making.

You can ignore anything these bank managers say. They will say whatever they can to get you out of their business. I literally just read a report that someone got their bank letter from Bangkok Bank for monthly transfers YESTERDAY. As I said, if your bank branch will not help, go to a different one. They're a bunch of liars. The sooner you can be done with them, the better.

Regarding how the transfer shows, you need to see what bank it came from, and then go to that bank and ask them for a credit advice showing the transfer was international. Bring that along with your own bank account information for confirmation to immigration.

As far as the bank letter goes, this is far from the first report that they are refusing to issue the letter for monthly transfers. Most reports I've seen about this indicated the person went to a different branch and got the letter there without issue.

My advice is to switch to Kasikorn or another bank as soon as possible. Drop the garbage Bangkok Bank.
