ORIGINAL POSTERHi 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.

Comments from other users suggest that this discrepancy is generally not a problem, as experiences vary by immigration office. Some have succeeded in their applications without questions regarding address differences.

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.

thanks Stuart. Even tho' I am no longer living at the address on the account?Stuart *********
@Nigel *************
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 bank account is for condo address but when i did visa extension during covid used our house in Samat Sakorn wasnt even asked about itNigel **************
ORIGINAL POSTER@Michael *******
but you still live in / own the condo? I don't live in my condo any more. The ownership is complicated nowStuart *********
@Michael *******
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.Nigel **************

thanksNigel **************

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. ThanksReply to
