from Siam Bank PLC there will be an addtional paper that lists all movements in the account for the recent three months, and they required this as proof, not the bankbook even if it shows the recent three months as well. I once asked them if copies of the bank book pages would suffice and they said, No 😞

oh, they do, outside near their office. Even in Sisaket Immigration, for the last 4 years they always asked me to do an ATM draw whenever I applied for the Extension of Stay based on Retirement

so if she did ONE land border exempt entry in 2018, she can have a second one this calendar year. Pay the overstay fine and be good and come back for another exempt entry

Exempt entry? You cannot get the aforementioned. Overstay and it's over. You can easily exit and enter again

i am still awaiting the thread starter to tell us which kind of visa he/she was on

take bankbook and ATM card along to Immigration, as they sometimes ask you to draw a small amount like 500 THB from an ATM outside their office, and show the receipt to the officer

some bank clerks tend to know little about the exact requirement of this so called "letter of guarantee" . . I found the first three times with different clerks a bit difficult to explain whilst always been over the top friendly and not pushing. The letter needs to be on the bank's original letterhead (not being a copy!) So just in case nobody in your bank knows this "letter of guarantee" for Immigration always kindly ask for the manager. And it might be helpful if you got your Immigration's office telephone number at hand (however I never needed to go this far and I don't know anyone who did). Yet I trust all is well - in places with a good fluctuation of expats, there will be absolutely no problem with the bank letter

. .a millisecond too late 😄 . .

okay if you enter Thailand with a Non-Imm-O/A, make sure right after the immigration booth, that they stamped you in correctly. You will receive a one year permit of stay

myself I might sound silly now, yet there is nothing such as a "retirement visa". either you got a Non-Imm-O or O/A Visa based on retirement, or you are on an Extension of Stay based on Retirement. One is a "visa" and two is an "Extension of Permit of Stay"
