changing your address is easy enough. You just have to remember that wherever you open your account will be the "Master" bank and any changes must be done at that branch only.

yes you can change your address at another branch but I'm sure it involves closing your current account and depositing into your new account even though its the same bank. So then there's another problem for next year's visa extension, you have to show your money is in the bank for 2 months before and 3 months after (easy for the first extension) but when you can't produce a full year's statement (although you can show the 2 months prior) they will clearly see you didn't keep the required amount in for the 3 months after you last did your extension as your previous account has now gone and you'll find your previous branch probably won't help you (although it could be the same bank)

no, but you'll have to get your letter from Patteya. What I was trying to address is all bank correspondences IE statements will go to the address you've registered the account to so if its a hotel you might never see a statement.

Your only in a hotel for 2 weeks, wait until you've found your property as your bank account will be linked to the original address .

You have 30 day's from entering Thailand to open and deposit the required funds to extend your none O visa.

The funds need to be in your account for 2 months prior to your extention and if the address doesn't match your extention application you could face a problem.

thanks for saying that it's exactly what I was going to say ✅ it's the airline that will need to see your visa without onward travel and not immigration. Once your here then you apply for an extension of stay.

if you follow the requirements and present what's required there isn't a problem. It's required for a reason .

super easy to get.Your name should be on your property (yellow book) and your pink Id card from your local authority costs 40 baht . Why try to beat the system? What's required is required end off.

I have access to my account at all times. And you are correct I don't get any interest on that amount , however it's there incase of emergency and the rest is held in another country.
