@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.

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.

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.

@Monzi ************

It's either 65k/month or 800k in a Thai bank account.

You can not have the money required at immigration split up between 2 banks. At least, I have never heard of that before. What did your parents know about Thai banks when you were in your teens?
