Do I need a lump sum or can I use the monthly income method for my visa extension with Bangkok Bank?

Frank **********

I doubt it. If you are using the monthly deposits to fulfill the requirements just let Bangkok Bank know that. Get your bank statement showing the 12 monthly deposits and the letter that says the bank account is under your name with the balance shown. Be careful and make sure they give you the statement that shows the monthly deposits. I had to go back to the back after because they left two full months off of the statement. Like a fool I trusted Bangkok Bank to give me the full 12 months. 5555

Is it just the online app that is suspended? Can you still make an international deposit to the account or is everything frozen?

How can I efficiently extend my stay in Thailand at Rayong immigration?

Frank **********

better things? You ever walk by a bar in Bangkok or Pattaya early in the morning? Expats already in there drinking. Most expats probably do not have much to do all day. Going to Immigration is cheaper and not as scary as some believe it to be.
