Hi

American passport

If I have 13 months of consecutive deposits over 65K from overseas to my Bangkok bank account (FTT) will I be given an extension on my Non O visa?

Thanks ๐Ÿ™

TLDR : Answer Summary
An American passport holder with 13 months of consecutive deposits over 65,000 baht in a Bangkok bank account can apply for a 1-year extension on their Non O visa. However, for this extension, it is essential to meet specific requirements such as not having had a previous first-year extension, maintaining 800,000 baht in the bank account for 3 months post-extension, and not allowing the account to drop below 400,000 baht throughout the year. Meeting these conditions may allow the applicant to switch to a monthly transfer setup instead of needing to keep a lump sum in the bank.

You won't be given anything.

You can apply for a 1 year extension and as long as it's not your first 1 year extension, and you kept the 800,000 baht in your bank account for 3 months after you received your previous 1 year extension and never let your account drop below 400,000 the rest of the year, you might qualify to switch your extension to monthly transfers instead of banked money.
