Can you open a term deposit account in Thailand for long stay visa requirements?
Can the account that you open in Thailand for the long stay be a term deposit? Do they have them in Thailand ?

Yes, you can open a term deposit account in Thailand; however, it is essential for the funds to be readily accessible for immigration purposes, even though this may result in lower interest earnings.

Thailand does have term deposits but from an immigration perspective you need to be sure that your money is instantly accessible even if that means you lose interest if accessed

You won’t make much but some offices won’t accept them

Be dillegent about managing your deposit, bank charges often exceed interest and you can easilly slip below the threshold minimum deposit!
Deposit more than the minimim to avoid any surprises
