For the 800k in bank account for Non O extension, does it have to be an active account (as in a daily account ) or can it be a time deposit account?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for the 800,000 THB in the bank account for a Non-O visa extension can be met with either an active account or a time deposit. However, it's preferable to have access to the funds at any time. Some users reported successfully using time deposits for durations of up to 10 years without issues during immigration checks, as long as they could prove access to the funds.

Jomtien letter from Bank. It depends everywhere on Immigration officer. They want update from bank same day some banks won't do letter same day. You can't update fixed deposit. Try and do everything the same day.

but you can terminate a time deposit any time. Just lose the interest that's all. It's still considered usable funds no?
