I got a Non-O visa with a 12 month extension based on being over 50 recently and this required having 800k in the bank. I seem to recall I can not gi below 400k at all and the account must be above 800k for the first couple of months.
My question is twofold. First what are the implications of going below the 800k for a few hours (I have an auto payment going out and money from UK going in in the same day) so it may dip under by about 19k for a few hours.....
and secondly how would they ever know or just risky whenever I apply for a further 12 month extension?
many thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The Non-O visa requires maintaining a minimum balance of 800,000 THB for a specified period before and after visa renewal. If your account dips below this amount for a short time due to transactions, it can pose potential risks during renewal applications, as immigration offices may scrutinize bank statements and transaction history. While some offices may be lenient, others may require strict adherence to these financial requirements, and any instances of non-compliance can lead to complications such as having to restart the visa application process.
