Extension of stay retirement based on money in the bank.
If I move my 800k Baht to a new account/bank to get at least a little interest, is this transaction likely to cause any grief with the immigration office on renewal when it shows balance going to zero in one book then starting anew in another one? Could they say it has lost it's seasoning for example and refuse a renewal?
I would plan for the changeover to be done on the same day, but I dont want to tempt fate. Thanks
