@Andreas ********

still does no get tagged correctly as a ‘Foreign Transfer’ if thats is important

@Daniel *****

just my personal opinion but any foreigner who bring any significant assets to a Thai bank is foolish. Therefore I don’t think this happens in reality

True, foreigners are low value customers. We cannot participate in many profitable banking services.

And we are a thorn to customer service desks due to our need for english speaking reps. Then we accentuate the problem by approaching problems with a rude, entitled approach. I just witnessed an example today as a foreigner complained loudly that nobody could speak English to help him.

They get to use our deposits to make loans to Thai nationals but the value is still not that significant.

I brought my US social security benefits document. But they never asked for it. As you said they might be looking at your age and questioning the source of income.

I used Bangkok Bank for my Thai Immigration financial documentation purposes and it has worked OK for the past 2 extensions.

@David *********

auto correct error, what I meant was non-o visa and then 1 year extension

@David *********

I did a non-o in country two years ago, and there was no requirement to show income tax statements.

@John *********

sorry, thought it might be helpful to know if this was consistent for more then one person

@John *********

I stand corrected, clearly have been looking at too many bank statements.

I looked back and the test deposit I did is labeled “Trade Finance Deposit”
