I have had the money in a BKK bank for years but moved to SCB a few months ago I have a BKK. Statement and will get an SCB. one when needed ( February) will that give me a problem ( always above 800k)

I may be wrong but I think many IOs want the statement dated the same day, if you are lucky the day before

Watch out- Bangkok Bank takes a week to get a 1 year statement, by then it’s out if date. I moved to SCB because of it

It's easy to do it on line. I'm not sure if the drive in 90 day report is open or not, if it is, it's very quick, you don't get out of the car.

Just update your pass book, no need to deposit money, that's what I did. The problem is that if IM want 1 year of passbook information in a statement from the bank, it takes BKK one week to process it, (only 6 months can be done locally), it is then too old. It would need that statement (200 Baht) then another dated the day you go to immigration or the day before (100 baht) if both are required. In my case the 2 day old 6 month statement and a copy of the recent update was accepted. Whether this will work in offices other than CM I don't know.

Got my extension today. A six month statement from Bangkok Bank was accepted, it was two days out of date and they wanted a copy of the updated pass book( one day out of date). The bank statement is required, a copy of the bank book for the last year is not sufficient. It was Bangkok Bank who got it wrong, saying I needed a 1 year statement and it would take one week. That would certainly not be accepted as it would be too out of date. IM did not check to see if he money had stayed in my account after last years extension, they were only interested in this year and I guess this years 'seasoning' and I think 3 months would be OK Anyway, after spending 6 hours in Immigration today I'm having a beer! πŸ˜€

Yes, that is what I was told, I've cancelled that, will go to CM immigration tomorrow and if I still can't get an extension with the 6 month letter ( the most they can do locally) and have to wait 1 week, I'll have to ask immigration, if I have to wait one week how can I get one that is only one day old? What was the outcome?

Now not clear at all! The bank thinks I need 1year, but if it's deposit it only needs to be there for 3 months. I can get 6 months printed off off locally, I have that and will try again tomorrow. The only issue might be proving that in this last year I kept the money in the bank for the ? months after the extension. We'll see if the bank book will suffice.
