Hi All, Renewed my Non O yesterday but had problems at the bank again with them not understanding what's required. Eventually got there but I'm wondering if anyone has swapped their bank recently while using the 800k method for the visa? Would I need to duplicate the 800k in the new account or can I transfer it from old to new, after the 3 months is up? Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user recently renewed their Non-O visa but faced difficulties at the bank regarding documentation. They inquired about transferring the required 800k Baht from one bank account to another after three months, prompting discussions on best practices. Recommendations included being cautious when transferring funds, with suggestions to split the transfer into two amounts for safety. Furthermore, others advised keeping copies of banking letters for reference and clarifying terminology for better communication with bank staff. It's emphasized that the Non-O visa is invalid upon entry into Thailand, and they are actually renewing a one-year extension for residence.
