Sorry to hear that. I've been fine with Bangkok Bank other than getting statements. I ran a test last week to see how long it would take. I ordered Thurday and they arrived at the branch on the following. That's cutting it close if they can only be seven days old.

Yes, me too. I had to order 13 months of statements. Because my last extension in 2023 was Sep 30, and I was getting a new extension Oct 1, 2024. They wanted a statement to see the one day in Sep of 2023. Even though the bank book showed 1.8 million all year. It is what it is.

Thanks Sebastian, I'll do what I have to do

@Sebastian ********

I'll get everything I can paperwork wise. I think I may try Sep 29th. All they can say is no and come back when the money is at SCB for 60 days. That leaves me 7 days before my extesnion expires.

@Charles *******

I'm ok fund wise. I didn't consider it may have to be in the new account 60 days. I thought any account as long as I showed proof would do. We'll see. I'm gonna go to immigration and ask. Both upstairs and the both branches. I'll see what they say. But I have a feeling come back when it's been at SCB 60 days may be the answer

@Sebastian ********

This is true. I try to go with the flow. I never really thought about the 60 day rule because I've always had over 800k. I was more concerned it posted in the new account the same day. I didn't think 2 banks mattered. I'm gonna go into immigration and ask at the BB and SCB. I'm sure I'm not the only dummy to mess up the timing. Worst case, I come back Nov 4. That will be 62 days. My stamp expires Nov 11, 2025. I just want to get this over with for another year.

I know you've said 60 days a few times. So that is in fact a rule? It can't be in two banks 60 days before extension. 2 years 11 months at Bangkok Bank and One month at SCB. To get this over with on Sept 29.

I know every IO is different. But the BB branch at Chaing Wattana said they will only accept the forms from the bank that have the blue logo. I got lucky last year. I brought in 12 months of statements with the blue logo. It took 5 days to get them and I think they can only be 7 days old. I had got my last extension Sept 29. I was there applying Oct 2. They wanted a 13th statement showing the other two days. I printed it out in the basement off the app and took it into the BB branch. They helped me out and stamped it with a bunch of blue stamps. I took it back upstairs and was approved. I'm trying to switch to an easier bank, buit I probably messed up the timing.

You sure are. I just ran a test to see how long it will take to get 13 month of statements. I ordered them last Thursday Aug 28th. They arrived today 6 days later. I'm sure the weekend hurt me. So I need to plan an appointment only on Monday. Order the statements the Monday before and pray they show up on Friday in 5 days. That's the only way they will only be 7 days old. Last year I messed up and got 12 month of statements. My last extension was Sept 29, 2023 and I was getting a new extension (I think) Oct 1, 2024. They wanted to see the statement that showed Sept 29 and Sept 30. So I needed 13 statements. The bank book never went below 1.6 million. That was in Bangkok

@Charles *******

Thanks Charles. I've always had over 800k at Bangkok Bank. I'm just concerned I moved it to the new account at the wrong time. I have an appt in 28 days. If they accept having over 800k at any bank I'm fine. If they want 800k for 60 days at the new bank, I'll have to go in Nov 4. Luckily my extension expires Nov 11. I just like to get it over with.
