Because I'm smart,retired and living in Thailand long term.1,900 baht/year is what I pay. I can do everything at immigration in my sleep. Why would I need an LTR? Please tell.

@Glenn ****

You mean a 12 months bank statement. The bank letter doesn't show any transactions.

@John *******

I'm using copies of my bank book going back 14 months plus the bank letter. No need for a 12 months bank statement.

@Lee ***

You are most likely incapable of doing things yourself.

@Barry ******

You haven't heard about "last will and testament"?

@Mark *********

So, 800k is a very large portion of your savings?

It should officially be Amsterdam.

Immigration issues a certificate of residence but some embassies issues an equivalent to that certificate. Thats the one the bank asked for. You can ask them if immigrations certificate will suffice.

@Brandon ***********

Some embassies issues an equivalent to immigrations certificate of residence and there are banks that still asks for that certificate. Years ago Bangkok Bank in Kanchanaburi required that certificate. I don't know if they still do. One of Bangkok Banks official requirements (until a few years ago), was that certificate or immigrations certificate of residence.

How come you and so many retirees thinks that 800k is a fortune? Parking the money in a Fixed Deposit Account in a Thai bank isn't imo bad.
