I got a one-year visa extension for my O-A in early November. I had my aged 800k baht on deposit, as well as my health insurance. Now I have a question about the 800k baht just sitting in my account.
My question is this:
I seem to recall that in addition to the ageing requirement for the 800k baht at the time of extension, that this minimum amount must remain in the bank for some period after the extension is granted. Now I can't find any such provision.
I've done a search here and didn't find my answer. The Immigration website appears to be down, so I can't get my answer there.
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
After obtaining a one-year extension for the Non-Immigrant O-A visa, the applicant questioned the requirement for maintaining the 800k baht deposit. A commenter noted that the 800k baht must remain in the account for at least 3 months after the extension, followed by a minimum balance of 400k baht for the next 6 months, after which the amount should return to 800k for 3 months prior to the next extension.
