Not sure if this is the correct site for this question but I'll ask for advice anyway.

Where is the best place to keep your 800k for renewing your retirement visa, is there a particular bank or account that gives you access should you need to dip into it with a good rate of interest or a fixed saving bond without access to it for say 1 year.

I've tried looking at so many options in the past but just wondered if there are any new products come on the market lately 🤔

Hello,

I'm from New Delhi, India. Have been to Thailand for more than 7 times and I just love Thailand. I want to stay in Thailand for longer and planning to apply for DTV visa. I got money equivalent to much more then the needed money in my account but most of the money is in Fixed deposits. I do stock trading and online teaching. Should I apply for DTV in New Delhi on my own or should I do it through an agency in Thailand ? Will it be okay if I have money in fixed deposits? I would really appreciate if someone could answer my questions.

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!

Please, do not laugh, but…

When we open a bank account in Thailand, will be depositing the 800,000thb (each) as required for our visa

Do we earn any interest on it and if so how much

Likewise, if we want to open a savings account, what (if any) interest can we expect to earn?

Have tried to find the answer online to no avail

Thank You

Hi... regarding 800k in bank account for Non O-A extension... Does it have to be in a transactional account or could I put it into a fixed deposit... I won't be drawing any funds from it and see it as an opportunity to get at least a little bit of interest... Thanks for all the excellent information...

Thai immigration has confirmed it will show some leniency to foreigners with regards to proving income when applying for retirement and marriage extensions.
