yes. If you use the dropdown of reasons for transfer one of the options is “funds for long term stay in Thailand” just for that reason.

As long as your address is registered in that province, yes you can.

Not sure what a 10:30 is

I have had that for years and they never cared.

there are a bunch of rules but to get the full term interest they guarantee you have to leave it a specific period of time. The interest is absolutely minimal so if you withdrew and lost that benefit it wouldn’t be impactful. There are others like no online banking, minimum deposit is 2000 baht and others I don’t remember. I opened it 5-6 years ago.

It could have changed since then but that’s what I remember and if being honest I don’t pay much attention because I deposited and forget about it.

The rules changed recently on this for some reason. My agent told me the only way to get two accounts now is if one is a “fixed” account.

I have a fixed account that I dumped the 800k into and I never touch it.

I have a standard debit card account that I use for my daily activities.

A friend currently in the process had to show bank deposits for the last 24 months showing the total for the last two years did in fact equal greater than $80K
