Hi, I’m living in Bangkok on a retirement visa keeping the required THB funds in an account with Krungthai bank. I am considering opening an interest bearing savings account with Bangkok Bank but am concerned whether having my required funds split across two banks, including a fixed interest account, will present an issue with my visa renewal next year?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about the implications of having their required funds for a Thai retirement visa split between two banks, particularly with respect to visa renewal. A commenter advises that as long as the user maintains access to the funds, having a fixed interest account is permissible, provided the funds are not frozen for the duration of the deposit.
