I have a Non O visa. Can you spread your 800,000 deposit between two different banks ie so 400k in each?

I am trying to transit from the deposit to monthly income method for my next extension but I would like a back up if this fails for any reason ... like the Wise/ Bangkok Bank change in foreign deposit reference!

Thanks so much

When on a 90 day non-immigrant O visa, my 400k will be in the bank 4 days after I arrive. (1 day delay as constitution day).

Is it absolutely fixed that I must wait 60 days for the money to mature before applying for the 12 month extension?

Hello,

I am thinking about applying for a DTV (workation) in Taipei.

I transferred 500,000 THB to my bank account on August 21 and would like to apply around October 21.

I know that it is recommended to keep the funds for at least 3 months, but my tourist visa is about to expire.

Has anyone had experience in Taipei applying with the money kept for only 1–2 months, and was it accepted?

Friends, for general ease is it better to get the long-term visa in the home country? Or in Thailand itself. I don’t have any sort of monthly guaranteed income but I can satisfy that ฿800,000+ bank deposit requirement if needed. Currently, I’m home in my country. What’s a better option? Canadian

I have been on a Non-O retirement visa for over 4 years and have maintained an excess of 800,000 baht all along but would now like to switch to depositing at least 65,000 baht monthly. The interest rate earned in Thailand is so low compared to my accounts in the States. My next renewal is February 2026 but my 65,000 baht deposit will commence this January 2026---or a month earlier if that's a safer option. My question is: AFTER my renewal is completed in February 2026, can I transfer the 800,000 back to my stateside account or is it necessary to keep the 800,000 baht minimum in my Thai bank until I've completed my 2027 renewal? Thanks for any advice.

I have two questions to ask for advice.

Firstly, instead of making the THB800,000 deposit, can I have a combination of a smaller deposit and money coming into my account every month, or do I need both?

Secondly, is the money currently being deposited into your account on a monthly basis being taxed 10% yet as I have read previously,?

I have asked both of these questions to immigration agents and received no reply.

FYI. The monthly amount is in the form of a retirement fund and has already been taxed twice by my Government, I'm not wanting to get it taxed a third time.

Up to now I've been renewing my extension of stay using an income affidavit from my consulate. The writing is on the wall that this will be discontinued at some stage in the future. Is depositing min 800k in my Thai bank 2 months prior to visa renewal sufficient? I read somewhere between the lines that you have to maintain a min of 400k over a 12 month period.

Thank you

Hi, wife and I plan to move to Thailand next year on a non O retirement visa. We will get the 90 day non O visa in our home country (USA) first, my question is the origin of the 800K deposit per person, must my wife’s deposit come from a USA bank account in her name or can each of our 800k deposits come from an account in my name only?

I tried to reach out to the Thai embassy in DC for an answer but no response yet.

Thank you!

Hello Group, I am here on a Non-O based on marriage, also have a Thai child and arrived April 7th, 2025. Unfortunately I didn't get the 400K deposited into my Bangkok Bank until April 29th. Fast forward to June 19 and had a medical emergency ( heart attack ), which caused me to dip into the 400k, bringing it down to around 100K. I am stamped 90 day until July 6th. I am guessing that this will be an issue at IO. I was planning on refilling my Thai bank account back up to 400K+, but wanted to consult the group first. Do I really have to start this whole process again? I am also hoping IO will take into consideration the medical situation and extend my initial 90 day, allowing me to stay and season the 400K. Will consider agent at this point. Please help!

🙄 Hi members.

Hit a big snag when doing E-visa..I'm 70 years old.

Been passed good to travel

By Doctors... this is where problems start.

Because I've had Major operations no insurance company wants to know me.

They all push me to Insurance Brokers who want a arm and leg... I'm applying for non immigrant OA..

It's asking for insurance policies..any way around insurance.. have funds to cover my self..plus the money you need for Bank.

Am I looking at wrong visa

Is there a better option.

Have home but can't live in it.

PS.. in Thai Girlfriend name

Thanks..
