ok thank you, i will get the letter again from the bank. Just to be sure about the bankbook: let's say I do the extension the 9th of january, i need to do a transaction that day and have one for november and one for december that show up the 800k on the balance for the bankbook for those months?

@Jon *****

yes it is still the original bankbook, will go jomtien this week

@Graham *****

I have a Thai bank account so It sounds like that this option not the best for me as 2 weeks is quite a long wait. Thanks

@Graham *****

very interesting, is it less hassles to do it i in an other country compared to thailand? Is a bank statement enough or they want to see other proofs of funds? What Other documents are needed? Thx

@Tod ********

ok thanks the info that the passport number was engraved somewhere in the bankbook is apparently fake. Thanks again

@Tod ********

because the 800k are mentionned, I have it already on a Thai account and it was international transfer.

I've read before that I need a letter of the bank as well as the bankbook as a proof.

I've changed passport recently and I've read that if you change your passport you need a new bankbook to show to immigration.

So do I need a new bankbook before going to immigration where international transfer won't appear.

What the best way to proceed ? Bring old and new bankbook + bank letter to immigration

@Tod ********

thanks very much for the information. That would be at least 3 weeks out. A bit too much for my liking and hotels are not free... Will probably do 2 before my birthday exits then...

@Neil *******

Thanks, wasn't planning to buy the 15 years extension, just wait 50 yo and do non-o. Probably too late to start the process for the extension now anyway.

@Steve ********

thx but long story short (passeport change, visa transfer etc ...), I did already get this 6 months extension .

@Tod ********

thanks I was not up to date and now need to find a solution until I reach 50 end next year.

Can I ask in this post if ex elites visa tend to get harassed by IOs if they come back soon after the end of the visa on exemption.

I've stayed almost full time the last five years...
