The requirements depends on which level of bank employee you ask. Most don’t know and don’t want to get into trouble so just spout any shite to get rid of you. For BKK

1. Go to a main branch that has a manager.

2. You only need your passport and visa.

Just green book for me last time plus fill out the form they give you.

Yes Bangkok Bank. Go to a main branch where the manager works. Anywhere else the staff will hide behind their lack of knowledge by claiming it can’t be done. You do not need a work permit.

Pottery class is cancelled.

Ok , so to finish off my visa debacle here is the final summary.

1. A bank letter was not enough even though it showed 12 months international transfer of 70k. The IO wants to see the source of the money as income in the U.K.

2. Tax returns are no good. It must be an income or a pension in the U.K. nothing would change their minds.

3. I have to transfer 800k now. I must let my O-A visa expire then rely on the visa amnesty to season the money. Then go back for a plain O visa.

4. The IO assured me this will work 😂😂😂

@Anthony *******

that’s the plan. Some people are just born that way.

@Anthony *******

yes. Leave Thailand and start again. 😂

Mogens Nygaard I receive nothing as I live on savings. Which I am told by Mukdahan immigration is not good enough.

@Anthony *******

all transfers are marked as foreign so no issue. The IO doesn’t care. She wants a letter from somebody else like pension or employer. I am too young for a pension and no longer work. This is my own money.

@Geoff *******

yes that is all Ok thanks. The issue is if I go into immigration with my bank letter proving my monthly income they say it is not good enough. My money is no good. They want to see proof it is from work or a pension.
