Another bank question: do the banks have saving schemes where the 800000 can gain some interest?

Hi all,

I have 500,000 baht accumulatively in my bank accounts. They are distributed into different savings accounts. Will the embassy accept this? Or do I have to consolidate all of my savings into a single bank account?

These are all savings acounts, meaning the money can be withdrawn at any time.

Does anyone know of a bank in Thailand that has a savings account that has a percentage interest rate similar to a CD in an American Bank to allow the money to grow? 3.50-4.50%. This would be for the marriage requirements to have the $400,000 baht in an account. Is it possible to open an account and just leave it and let it grow?

Hi!

I have a question about the 500,000 THB bank balance requirement for DTV visa.

The money is in a liquid savings/fixed deposit that appears on my main bank account statement.

Does that count, or does it have to be in a regular current/checking account?

Thank you!

Banking question. I cannot get an answer from immigration:

I am fine putting ฿800,000 in a bank account . But I want to get decent interest. The bank tells me I can get a decent 2.4% interest in a fixed account. However, that money cannot be accessed by ATM or the banking app for things like making payments.

I don’t want to put the 800,000 into their savings book account because it only gets 0.25% .

Also, I want to have my deposit every month over the next 12 months so I can in one year get my 800,000 back

Question: can I have two accounts? One with a bank that is a fixed account that I put the 800,000 in and I do not touch for the year and I get 2.4%.

A regular savings account where I would deposit my 65,000 bought every month so in 12 months I can show that I have the pension and I can get my 800,000 back

Will that be allowed? Same bank just two different accounts. The savings account that I deposit my pension into I could then use for paying bills, etc., and withdrawal from ATM.

Or does everything need to be in one account?

Thanks if you have any relevant information .

Hi friends !

We are a family that travels from Thailand to Vietnam to do the visa

Do we have to show 500k per head in the bank checking account or is it enough to have it at savings plan?
