Can I use a 12-month 65,000 baht bank deposit to apply for the first Non-O one year extension in Thailand?

The discussion revolves around whether a 12-month bank deposit of 65,000 baht can be used for the first Non-O one-year extension in Thailand. While there is a common understanding that this method isn't typically accepted for the first extension, phone consultations with the Phuket Immigration Office suggested it may be possible. Participants debated the importance of having alternative financial proof, like the 800,000 baht option, which might be preferred instead. Various comments also touched on the conditions of bank accounts linked to visas and the challenges faced by expats in this regard.
