correct

@Tod ********

prachinburi io does not recognize Citibank as an eligible bank.

Instructed me to get a certificate from French embassy in bkk (did not understand what kind) and transfer my 800 k to a “real bank” after opening an account (based on a 30 day visa exempt?? Wtf).

I am tired.

Will try in CW tomorrow.

On the proof of fund, Citibank is familiar with the process and issues letter, statements (all stamped and signed) in a matter of minutes.

awesome :-) I will do it in Prachinburi which makes it impossible to get everything on the same day. I will see how it goes (They are quite flexible and understanding over there)

Ron Angel Yes. Asoke.They only have 1 branch. I opened an account there 12 years ago as I was living outside of Thailand and was tired of running into trouble every time I wanted to transfer money from another bank to pay for my credit card expenses (that was 12 years ago...)

@Rob***

, really appreciate your patience to clarify the same things over and over again 🙏

Ah yes sorry. Got a detailled answer from

@Tod ********

a month ago: I can get a 90 day non-O issued in Bkk, then apply for the yearly extension as the money is here since July.

Robert Lagas no, I came with a 30 days exemption as recommended by the consulate (and here). The rest is correct

Am starting to worry as my 800 k are on a Citibank savings account. They don't use bank books. I hope a letter/certificate/stamped statement will be enough

I had 83 days in the last 6 months; she said I will probably be denied the visa but advised against it anyway as I want to apply for the retirement extension in Thailand where I already transfered the 800k.

@Rem ****

it says somewhere else you might be denied a SETV if you were in Thailand less than 90 days ago (i think in the section where you book an appointment)
