How do I maintain the 800k baht requirement while on a Non-OA visa in Thailand?

As I understand your question u r applying for the “NON-OA” visa which is done while u r in USA, as opposed to the Non-O visa which is applied for Inside Thailand.

So no need to deposit money into a Thai bank account IF you are using the Non-OA route as u would provide paperwork that u have 800,000 baht equivalent inside your USA account. But after the Non-OA expires and visa is used up u would need to convert to the Non-O visa inside thailand which starts w a 90 day visa which is extended for another year. When u get ready to convert over to the Non-O visa, that’s when u need to show the money in the Thai bank.

Don’t confuse the Non-OA visa (can only get outside Thailand with the Non-O visa which I get by applying inside Thailand.

If u plan on going to USA each time your Non-OA expires and renewing the Non-OA then I think u can just keep showing the money INSIDE USA via a letter from your bank.

Can someone else (admin experts) confirm this? If not then pls delete my comment. Thanks

Benefit of the Non Immigrant O-A visa is that you get stamped in for 1 year of stay. IF you go abroad just before the visa expires and come back before the valid until date you still get a new 1 year of stay, so you can almost stay 2 years inside Thailand using this visa.

And as you are already almost 2 years in Thailand you can use the proof that you made deposits for at least 12 months before application date of minimum 65.000 Thb into a Thai bank account in your name only.

The first year must be 800.000 Thb in a Thai bank is for people who only are in Thailand for 90 days or do a conversion of their tourist status and can not provice 1 year statements.

What nationality are you ? You may qualify for the embassy affidavit

You are partially correct.

If you apply for Non-OA, it is a multiple entry visa valid for 1 year, and will be stamped for 365 days every time you enter Thailand on this valid visa until the "must be used by/valid until" date on the visa itself (you should have appropriate insurance). You can enter just on or just before the "must be used by" date on Non-OA you will be stamped for another 365 days. This is how people make almost 2 years from one Non-OA.

During the visa valid period, your funds can be in any country.

Your understanding is right when you are applying for 1-year extension after you enter on Non-OA. You need to have 800K thb in your Thai bank account for the first year, then 65K monthly transfer for 12 months for the second yearly extension application or later.

In the graphic attached, you will be on Non-OA entry instead of Non-O 90 days at the start.
