Can I transfer my 800,000 THB from Bangkok Bank to another bank without penalties for my Non-O visa?

I was told by immigration that it has to in and out on the same day. If you can't do a transfer you can always get a bank cheque.

I want to transfer my 800,000 out of bangkok bank, waiting for clarification!

I did this 3 years ago with no problems

As Tod says transfer it as two 400k sums a couple of days apart (ckeck receipt of the first before transferring the second) but to be really safe I would do this after you have met the 800k for 3 months after the extension was granted

There is another thread on this group that just asked the same question recently so see if you can't find it. I'm not at the PC so I can't link to it.

There's nothing to prohibit you from moving to another bank account however with that being said, I would move it in 400k increments so that you keep the seasoning requirements at one bank until you get that same amount in the next bank and then move the balance over.

There's nothing in the rules that says you have to do this, but I always err on the side of caution..

The other thread got closed down because it devolved into a how can you move money into thailand, what about the Bangkok Bank 4 month frozen account policy they recently implemented.

None of those things had anything to do with visa advice so let's not let this thread turn into that.

Remember the seasoning of funds for banked money method retirement extension is:

You need 800k in a Thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the extension

The 800k stays in the bank account for 3 months after the extension is granted

Then the balance can never go below 400k the rest of the year.
