dont need school if your bring a valid drivers license from your home country plus the international drivers permit IDP

@Pete ******

ummm because that is what immigration asked me to provide.

Your are correct that the problem began because WISE made a change and started routing through K-bank September 2025.

Therefore I currently have 4 monthly correctly labeled as ‘Foreign T/T’ and September & October incorrectly.

I request a ‘Credit Advice Letter’ for the 1st 4 deposits in Bangkok who directed me to the account branch in Buriram. Buriram also was not able or willing to provide the letter. BBL instead provided 4 individual credit notes.

K-bank also provide a credit note for the September deposit (only when I found my way to their ‘International Service branch’ in Bangkok. Again BBL displayed absolutely no interest in assisting me to tie the K-bank credit note to the local deposit from K-bank to BBL.

There I made additional foreign deposit directly in K-bank for September and October and will continue the balance of the year.

Adding receipts for the transfer out each month from WISE to show the funds directed to BBL Or K-bank

And statement covering the individual months in question for each bank with the deposits highlighted for the immigration officer.

BTW - tried several other method of transferring funds to BBL and none of them have been labeled correctly as FTT since the start of this issue in September

Last year there was no issue getting the certifications needed from BBL

@Pete ******

correct, so I do understand why you brought it up in response to the a post about 12 monthly 65k deposits

And yes the ‘Credit Advice Letter’ previously certified the 12 monthly foreign deposits,

@Martin *********

I did now switch banks, there is no choice for me.

Sending from the US

- WISE routes through Kbank and does not arrive at BBL as International source of funds.

- JP Morgan Chase SWIFT transfer to BBL arrive labeled BAHTNET which BBL says cannot be certified as an international source of funds.

I have switched to depositing in Kbank since they still label the funds as international.

No doubt the next extension application appointment may be trying.

@Pete ******

qualify? What does that mean?

Do you mean do I have 12 monthly international deposits? Yes I do! 2nd year on the monthly deposit method

@Pete ******

its simple, BBL is not issuing the ‘Certificate of Deposit’ to certify 12 monthly foreign deposits. At least not at the branch I have checked.

@Andy *******

not just a Pattaya issue. Bangkok Bank in both Buriram and Bangkok refused to provide the ‘Credit Advice Letter’ for 12 monthly deposits that Immigration is requesting.

@Dac ******

the typical 800k certified bank letter does not work for the 65k monthly method

@Pete ******

no, he is not lying. I have already requested the letter Immigration has requested and BBL refused to provide

@Peter ******

However there are changes. Since Wise decided to start routing deposits through Kbank beginning this September. Resulting in deposits no longer identified as International. I switched from Bangkok Bank to Kbank where the deposits are still coded correctly.

Went to Bangkok Bank to request a ‘Credit Advice Letter’ ad a test of whats to come. BBL would not produce the said letter for the 4 monthly deposits I had made so far.
