Depends on which embassy. Ottawa is slow, Vancouver is fast.

tellers aren't doing anything. It's the bank managers that make these arrangements with agents. There's a reason the agents in Pattaya are now putting customers on buses to Bangkok to get their bank letters. They just found new bank managers that aren't under the microscope like the ones in Pattaya are currently. Once it blows over in a couple months everything will be back to normal for agents and things will be more difficult for people who want to do it on their own.

@David ******

but it won't stop anything. It just makes it harder for the people doing it the legal way. There will always be bank branches willing to accept payment to write a simple letter. A policy that is enforced at the discretion of the manager won't stop a single thing.

@Jay ******

immigration rules are the money must be in your amount for 2 months before the date you apply for your extension.

@Mark *******

this won't stop anything. It just makes it harder for people doing it the legit way. This is simply a bank policy. There's nothing stopping a teller from writing a letter. There are still banks doing for cash. If the bank an agent is using stops, they just need to find a new bank branch manager willing to go along.

Yes, it's a new Bangkok Bank policy. Talked about a lot recently

You can upload as many as you want. Just make them all PDFs and use an online PDF combiner tool

Yes that should be fine. It's still a regular bank.

I'm not sure. I've just seen from other people's reports.
