If I currently have an initial 90 day Non-O retirement visa and open a bank account to transfer the 800,000 baht…if for some reason I am unable to complete the one year extension. Will the bank account be closed?
Answer summary
The bank account linked to your 90-day Non-O retirement visa should not be closed as long as there are funds remaining in it. While keeping the account active is important, problems may arise if the account is inactive for a long period; some users reported accounts being closed after several months of inactivity. Therefore, while your account should remain open in theory, it is advisable to maintain some activity to avoid issues.

The bank account will not be closed as long as there are funds remaining in the account, or unless you close the account yourself.
