Does the 800,000 baht deposit for the visa extension need to be from my home country or can it be from a crypto exchange?
does the 800k deposit for the visa extension have to be from your home country or can it be a withdrawal from a crypto exchange(theoretically;))?
Answer summary
The 800,000 baht deposit for a visa extension in Thailand must be sourced from overseas and must reflect as 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account. It appears that the source can be flexible, as some users reported successfully using funds not directly tied to their home country.
