Can I use a foreign currency account for the yearly extension of a Thai non-immigrant O visa?

I had an american friend use a US currency account here and when the gurl keyed in the rate (which we had looked at earlier in the day) instead of 30 to one she used 28 to one. He still had enough in his account to cover it, but don't count on them using what ever the current rate is. <- That was the only person who did that,

Before with another friend who had a brit pound account the officer just looked up bangkok bank's exchange rate and used it.

Just be aware exchange rate the immigration offices use is not the same as the Inter-bank rate..

no problem having a foreign currency account as long as when you apply (and during the seasoning time frame) the exchange rate never goes below the 800K threshold
