@Ken *******

you need to show that money coming from outside of Thailand if its for his Visa and not sure if hand carry will show that.

@Ron ******

and you believe this.......

@Michael *******

exactly.......

You have been spoiled by the super friendly Consulate in Hull England which I guarantee is not the normal level of service but way beyond it. I have to agree with alot of folk on here though saying plan ahead and take all documents and extra photo copies every time. I keep a pack with photos, photocopies of passports, forms etc. so I have them with me just in case. Thailand is easier to enter/remain than the UK ir USA and nothing comes close to what it used to be like getting a Visa for Egypt or Angola fir example

Bangkok Bank. Just go along with a resident certificate and your passport.

Well my Transfer from the UK came through early so all good but a lesson for me to keep a bigger buffer or as suggested a separate account for the 800k

@Tod ********

Brilliant, thank you👌

@Tod ********

one final question. Does the 3 month period start from when the extension was issued or from when the extention starts?

@Tod ********

Thanks Todd. In Chiang Mai they never asked me to come back with my bank book after 3 months. I'll hold back my rental payment for a day and make sure I transfer more money earlier in future. I was being greedy with the exchange rate😄

Many thanks again👍
