Hi. Just a curious question and it's not that I'm going to do it, but:
Has anyone ever been asked to show that they still have the 800k in their bank, after they have renewed their O or OA visa, within the first 3 months. .
It's not a provision on your first 90 day report and I've never heard anyone ever having to show it.
Cheers. 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether expats have been asked to provide proof of maintaining the 800,000 baht requirement in their Thai bank account shortly after renewing their O or OA visa. While it's generally not required during the first 90-day report, some users note that certain immigration offices may request this information within three months, particularly in areas like Jomtien. Others highlight that they have been consistently asked for the last 12 months of bank statements when renewing their visas. The consensus suggests that while it may not be common practice everywhere, certain locations do enforce stricter compliance, especially regarding the required bank balances during the extension process.
