Renewing a 5 year Non immigrant OX visa

I have a little over a year until this is to be renewed but time flies and I want to plan ahead.

Does the money have to be in a bank account or can it be in a Thai investment account or even in a crypto exchange? Leaving money in a bank account is just non sensical to me as it earns me nothing.

Second part to the question. What is the minimum period and value in baht in an account before renewal

I do have a question about the 2/3 month seasoning before and the 3 month after on 800000 baht for a retirement extension. Is the date this measured on the date you apply/receive the extension or is it the start/end date of the extension?

Hello , we have a question , hopefully someone can help us with the right answer . The case is : Via our Embassy we can apply for the Non O visa , one of the requirements financial is the proof of income 65.000 THB . Our visa consultant tells us that enough to show them .

Asume everything is accepted, we are now entering Thailand , will they accept us on the same proof of income ? Or will they demand to have the 800.000 THB on our just opened Thaibank account to get our one year extension ? I could nowhere find a satisfying answer 🤔

I want to prevent that I don’t have access to my money , I’d rather invest it in Bitcoin .

Chicken or egg

It reads to get a bank account you need a retirement visa, but to get a visa, you need a bank account.

What do you apply for first.

And if you’re out of the country for more than 90 days, is your visa revoked as you can’t check in with immigration?

Is anyone successful in opening a thai bank account in chiang mai . With DTV workation . My thai insurance company wants a local bank account in my name to process the health insurance claim .

Is there any way to open a Thai account? I have a DTV visa

I know that it is difficult to open an account even with an ED visa.

Tell me a good way

I will get a Non Immigrant O Visa for my next visit, the question I have ... To open a bank account what is the customary amount required to just open the account for starters. I am not necessarily trying to deposit 800,000 for one year extension. Primary goal is to open a Thai account and slowly bring to 800,000. I will be leaving in 60 days with the Non-O Visa. Again, looking to just get and maintain an active Thai Account for future retirement Visa long term.

Hey all, thanks for all the good advice from a few weeks ago. l am now set to travel on 11 October via Singapore and into Jomtien Monday 12. Just 1 last question for the group....

Is it easier to bring a money order, bank check or travellers check to the value of 800,000thb? Can't take that much cash, approx $au38,000 and without an account to transfer into, cannot do an EFT.

Any help will be gratefully accepted.

For those under DTV visa, how do you pay utility bills and day to day stuff? Like other than cash, are there possible ways to pay digitally for rent and stuff? Better to have a digital trace rather than rely on receipts.

And another big question, how do you buy a car if you can't have a thai bank account?

DTV holder. Bangkok Bank frozen. Is there anyway I can get my money back without travelling back to Phuket from Bangkok to visit the original branch?
