non-O (retirement visa) extension question.
Held non-O for 5 years and maintained bank account which has never went below 800K, no movement at all since the said account was for the sole purpose of this non-O. Last year, provided all the required financial docs. The IO was asking for DAILY bank statement. IO said 'this time I will allow it, but next time I need to see DAILY bank statement' - and made a note on my papers.
I've been transferring 100baht monthly just to show and prove that it never went below 800K. What else can I do? What if the IO insist on this DAILY statement?
Appreciate some comment/advice. TIA
