Anyone have OX visa for more than 2 years? I am not sure about the ‘money in bank’ requirements after the second year … thanks 🙏🏻

Answer summary

The O-X visa in Thailand requires that holders maintain specific financial qualifications beyond the first two years. Applicants must have either 3 million Baht in a Thai bank or 1.8 million Baht with a yearly income of at least 1.2 million Baht. Initially, after entering Thailand, they need to accumulate 3 million Baht in their bank within one year. Furthermore, after the first year, they must retain at least 1.5 million Baht in their account. Additional requirements include having no forbidden diseases and maintaining Thai medical insurance.

@Eric *******

I doubt that you can draw down to less than 1.5 Million Thai baht in successive years. Ask your Thai Embassy and or Thai Immigration office.

It appears that the minimum of 1.5 Million Thai baht needs to be kept in bank account at all times all years.
