Can I use a fixed account passbook for my Non O-A visa annual extension in Thailand?
Hello, I have opened a second account to deposit my 800k and don't touch this account.
Bangkok Bank told me that this type of account is suitable for immigration when looking at the financial status. I have now my doubts.
Can I show up with this fixed account passebook for the annual extension visa Non O-A?

Various community members confirm that a fixed savings account is acceptable, provided it allows instant access. Some suggest obtaining a bank statement for immigration purposes, while others share their experiences with the same account type at immigration offices without issues.

I used this one until I had the common sense to start the 65k/month transfer method. Didn't sit easy with me tying up 800,000 baht for the rest of my life

I use the exact same "Fixed Savings Account" from Bangkok Bank since many, many years for my extension of stay and never ever had a problem.
Before you go for your extension, ask the bank for a statement for immigration and they know what you need.

be careful to always have (in the specified period) slightly more than 800k...at any time the bank may charge service or whatever and even 799.900 may be consider to be unacceptable...Joe ******

I got 1.25% fixed interest over 5 years which will easily cover any bank charges.

You need your bank book updated and a letter from the bank. Check everything before you leave the bank.

thanks for this answer and I am happy that you shared it. The bank said to me no problem, but I wanted to get some expat returns.🙏

As long as it is instant access (losing interest or not), that is what matters
