Is it a problem if my bank account address differs from my residential address for a Non O visa in Thailand?

Hi there. I am in the process of gathering all the docs needed to apply for a Non O visa based on over 50. I have a Thai bank account into which I will transfer the 800000.

But the address of my bank account is not the address where I live now. Is that likely to be a problem or not? Thanks for any help.

I successfully applied for the Non O-retirement 12 month extension with my home address being different to my BKK bank address. No questions were asked. This was last month at Samut Prakan immigration office. My initial non O was obtained online.

All depends on the immigration office. No two are the same. Only one way to find out.

 Ah. I see what you mean. I do believe there would be an issue with the accounts’ address being incorrect.

Can you not update it to your new address?

 My guess is like many things here it’s going to be office or even officer specific as to whether they require a matching address on bank statements.

 hence the question. I think I will need to do that as part of the process. I will be living in my partners house but the account has to be in my name for the visa. Hope there isn't an issue changing it. Thanks
