But it also says you must keep at least 400,00 all year, I have done that, but one bank account ends and a new one begins ( on the same day well before the 2 months minimum), it's the break between one account and the new one is what I am asking about.
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)
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 A six month statement from Bangkok Bank was accepted, it was two days out of date and they wanted a copy of the updated pass book( one day out of date).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 That would certainly not be accepted as it would be too out of date.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! π
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?
