ORIGINAL POSTER
Another banking & immigration related question. Sorry if it has been asked before.

I want to change my 800K 'immigration deposit' from Bangkok Bank to another bank.

I have most of my other monies tied up in CD's in the States ---- so I would need to use the money in the Bangkok Bank account to satisfy the banking requirement in regards to my upcoming renewal of my one year extension Non-O 'retirement' visa.

As of today I have 59 days left until my one year extension expires.

Do I need to go to Immigration and do some particular paperwork to get this bank change properly pushed through in regards to my visa requirements, or can I simply do a direct transfer in one day between the two banks and have all the banking papers in-hand from both banks when I do apply for renewal?

To cover myself, I would go to Bangkok Bank and get my bank book updated prior to doing the transfer. Plus I would leave enough funds in the account to keep it open and active after the transfer.

I have my transfer limit on my BB app set to two million baht a day so I should not have an issue making the transfer itself.

One question that particularly bothers me is perhaps the one day date change that may show up between the bank books/statements during the transfer. Think that may be an issue if it happens that way? I know Immigration can be a real stickler about some things.

Heck, a transfer may even take more than one day to take effect ya think? Of course I will check in with both banks regarding that question but I am just trying to get something of an idea as to what to expect and watch for.

Any advice or knowledge would be most appreciated! Thanks!
