TLDR : Answer Summary

The current requirement for the Non-Immigrant O-A Visa (OA Visa) in Thailand indicates that an applicant must have 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account two months prior to applying for an extension. There is no requirement for seasoning the funds in a UK bank before the application.

, didn't you just get your O-A visa?

Unless I'm wrong you are almost TWO YEARS away from needing the 800K baht in the bank to get your yearly extension..

You only need the 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name for 2 months before you apply for your yearly extension AND if you use the O-A visa correctly you can get almost TWO years of stay from it so you're a good ways off from panicking about needing the money in the bank.

When you apply for a new visa you need to meet the requirements, it does not matter if you apply for the 1st time , 2nd time, 3rd time etc.
