Do I need to deposit retirement funds in a Thai savings or current bank account for the O visa?
Hi, should retirement funds for applying for O visa be sent to Thai savings or current bank account?
Answer summary
When applying for an O visa in Thailand, it's advisable to deposit your retirement funds in a Thai savings account. Users recommend using a separate bank account, such as a money market account, to minimize the risk of accidental withdrawals.

I use a Thai money market account that pays a VERY small amount of interest.
I suggest you consider a different bank than your daily use bank to minimize the risk of accidental withdrawals.
