Today I had a discussion with a high ranking olice officer at the Pattaya Immigrtion to get the real scoop on the requirement for bringing in a bank letter because there has been so many conflicting stories on this and another forum.

Here is the real scoop.

If you are applying for the renewal of your retirement or retirement extention visa and you are bringing a notorized statement of income letter from your embassy,
the letter from your bank is not required.

If you are applying for the renewal of your retirement or retirement extention visa and you have the required 800,000 baht in the bank you need to bring a copy of your bank passbook and the original bank pass book and the guarantee letter from the bank.

So at least for now that explains why some people need to bring the letter from the bank and some do not.
