Hi. I have a single thai savings account keeping the 800k as well as monthly xfers of 65k. I regularly draw from the 65k for living expenses with a debit card.

I would like to seperate these to 2 different accounts so the 800k is 100% safe.

If I go to the bank and ask for a second account, is it important to keep the 800k in the same account? Or will immigration accept seeing it bump over to the other account?

I ask because of the debit card - if I should request one for the new account or if they tell me to use the one card for the current account. Hope that makes sense. I will ask the same question at the bank but welcome any pointers here for immigration purposes. Thanks

Hello - I am in my 2nd month of a 90 day retirement non-O visa.

What is best practice with the Thai savings account I have the 800k balance in? If after I receive the one-year extension in December, I will still keep the balance for 3 months but would also begin transferring a min of 65000(?) Baht each month so that I can change to that proof of finances the following year?

Would it be of any benefit to start depositing to the same account now? I have been thinking to xfer monthly and use the thai bank debit card when needing cash instead of my US card which always has a fee or 220 baht +. Always being sure not to dip below the 800k of course. But it would also make the passbook a longer document with spending patterns when presenting for the extension...
