Can I deposit foreign currency into my Thai bank account for visa extension purposes?
Looking for more ways to bring funds from abroad for extension purpose, I have a question, maybe someone have experience. What if you come to local bank where you have account and bring foreign currency in hand, then deposit this currency converted into Thai Baht to account? Will this be considered as foreign funds? Friend of mine tell this will be in statement. TIA
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the implications of depositing foreign currency into a Thai bank account for the purpose of visa extension. It highlights that depositing cash in person is treated as a local cash deposit rather than an international bank transfer, which may affect how the funds are recorded on bank statements.

It you hand over cash to a cashier at the bank it is called a cash deposit. Not an International bank transfer. And as this page is for Thai Visa advice and not for how do I get money into my Thai bank advice I close the commenting.
