How long does the 800,000 TB have to be in your Thai Bank Account before you apply for the Thai Visa and how long after you get it?
Answer summary
To apply for a Thai Non-O visa, most offices do not require the 800,000 THB to be seasoned in your bank account, except for Jomtien, which requires it to be in the account for 2 months prior to application. For an extension of stay, the funds should be in the account 2 months before applying and must not drop below 400,000 THB for the rest of the year. Additionally, the balance needs to return to 800,000 THB at least 2 months before the next application.

Not sure if you are asking about getting the initial Non O visa in country or a year extension of stay.

If the former most offices don’t require seasoning of funds prior to applying for the Non O. Jomtien does require 2 months prior. Some offices will insist that you show the funds came from overseas. Some don’t seem to care.

For the extension it’s 2 months prior and 3 months after and the balance can’t go below 400k for the rest of the year. It would need to be back up to 800k 2 months prior to your next application.

Tks for your response. I don’t understand why Thailand does not have one standard requirement for the entire country. In the same Immigration Office in Thailand, I had 3 Immigration Officers tell me 3 different requirements for the same issue. That is very frustrating!

lol, I’ve been going to Thailand for over 53 years and lived there for 6 years on and off, plus about 27 trips there so far. I’m married to a Thai as well. I just never went the 800,000 TB route.
