ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I am currently on my first extension of stay of a OA visa based on being father of a Thai child. I will be making a condo purchase which will mean I will clear out my money to purchase the property/company

My question does the 800k have to be in the bank account all year round?

What is the seasoning for a OA visa extension of stay?

I will be able to have 800k back in my Thai Bank account before I have to reapply for my extension next year In April 

Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster (OP) is seeking clarification on the financial requirements for extending their OA visa, specifically regarding whether the 800,000 THB needs to remain in their bank account for the entire year or only at the time of application. Other community members point out potential confusion regarding the type of visa the OP holds, suggesting they might be on a different visa linked to being a father of a Thai child, which may only require 400,000 THB in the bank. The conversation highlights the need for the OP to clarify their current visa status to receive accurate advice.

, okay, you have some of your wires crossed. To stop bad advice I'm going to close this topic until you message me and we can actually sort out WHAT type of visa/extension you have.

Sorry about that, message me and we'll get the topic opened again.

The OP needs to confirm exactly what his current permission to stay is before valid advice can be given, he is mixing up so many things it is impossible to know what he actually has,

I think you're on an O visa if it's based on being a father of a Thai child. If that's the case you only need 400k in your bank not 800k and it only needs to be there on the day that you apply for the visa, no seasoning required
