ORIGINAL POSTERGood morning please can someone enlightened me.
A friend of mine went to days ago to extend his OA visa ,he got in UK.
He showed his proof of money, more than 800000 Baht , in his Thai banc account , the money is there over 3 month. All worked fine until the IO checked the bank book. He denied the extension because my friend doesn't have this bank account not over 1 year. I'm not sure that this is a requirement. He lives in Sisaket but now he thinks maybe to try some other immigration Surin or Ubon.
Was it just made up by the IO ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A friend's OA visa extension was denied at the immigration office because the officer claimed the bank account needed to be open for over a year, despite having sufficient funds. The validity of this requirement is uncertain, leading to a consideration of alternative immigration offices.
