Why are people complaining about the moving goal post extension process, surely its a sign that immigration don't like this. This can easily be remediated by briefly leaving and country and re-entering once a year. Reason I bring this up is I just saw someone crying on the Thailand sub-reddit that they are now required by immigration to have a Thai Bank account in order to extend their Visa.

I got my Visa back in September 2024 and already been in and out the country 4 times, without any issues.

James Miller, just to report. My friend went with all the paperwork and his girlfriend to the Immigration Office Sisaket again today.

All IO including the boss insist that you have to have a Thai Bank account for 12 month and the 800000 for 3 month before you can apply for extension of the OA visa he got in UK. It's on the end the second year. The money is there over 3 month.
