Can I renew my Non-O extension while my passport is expiring soon, and how will it affect my Thai bank account?

The user is concerned about renewing their Non-O extension while in the US, as their current passport expires in July 2026, which is less than six months from the date of extension application. Responses clarify that there is no six-month passport validity requirement for applying for the visa extension, but it is advisable to renew the passport before applying. Renewing the passport ensures that the extension can be valid for a full year, and handling any impacts on the Thai bank account should pose no issues as long as both old and new passports are presented.
