they can see his history. Its his bloody money and yes the bank lady said its immigration but when he went there and talked to the IO that he's known ever since he got the retirement visa and extension she said this isn't immigration policy.

this is his operating account where only comes in and goes out. He never falls below ฿800k. This is his 2nd extension so the bank can see his history over 2.5 years. The bank says its immigration rule but the II says its not. That's why I'm trying to help him.

mate im helping him at the moment as he can't get any sense from the branch in Petchabun which is a 4-hour round trip from Chon Daeng where he lives. I've got a manager in Head office calling me back. He did ask from a statement to renew his retirement extension. Yep sounds fantasy but its happenned to him. Now here's something a lawyer posted s few days ago.

agreed. I also don't think older well dressed people have any problems but there's to be more scrutiny. I'm living here arm so this doesn't affect me. In the past I've had many types of Visas and come 3xempt too. This lawyer is now a resident and has his eat to the ground so to speak. Interesting he discussed border bounces which I've done too.
