Regarding Non-O visa : When does immigration ask the proof the 800Kthb comes from ourside Thailand by international transfer? Is it when I apply for the initial visa in Thailand, is it when I apply for my first extension (after 90 days) and/or is it when I apply for further extensions?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Immigration may require proof that the 800,000 THB comes from abroad at various stages, primarily during the conversion to a Non-O visa in Thailand. In most immigration offices, proof is needed when applying for the initial visa or when changing from a tourist visa to a Non-O visa. However, specific requirements can vary by office; for instance, Jomtien immigration demands the funds be in the account for 2 months prior and may require proof of foreign transfer, while many others do not. After obtaining the 1-year Extension of Stay, no proof of the foreign transfer is typically needed.
