Hi all I have a question for a visa extension for 1 year based on guardianship of child at school here is it possible to have the 500k held in a multi currency account like transferwise? Does it have to all be in 1 account? I am trying to avoid the large transfer fees bringing it in to Thailand and back again. Can the total sum be held across more than 1 account? Any help appreciated

Answer summary

The response indicates that for a visa extension based on guardianship of a child, the 500k baht must be held in a single Thai bank account, and it cannot be spread across multiple accounts or held in a multi-currency account like TransferWise. Some users suggested alternative strategies for covering fees or highlighted the importance of adhering to these rules.

I would say that you have two choices. Bribe the immigration officer (about Baht 10.000…) or pay the fees. I think paying fees is a bit cheaper.
