@Max ************
general consensus is that you have to do 800k first Best to go with the tried and true method for people who may be confused rather than more complicated risky options fraught with complexity
Anna *********
Yes lots of people know

800 k thb for first extension and then if you bank 65 k each and every month for 12 months you can use this method for your second extension but the 800k rules still apply throughout your first year

Entry and day of arrival is 1st day of the count

@Mary *****
simple answer is no as you have to be in Thailand on a non tourist visa to open a bank account

800k for the first extension and then if you deposit
*****
per month every month for the 12 months you can change to that method

So the answer is either but with different requirements

I’ve only heard if immigration checking these things if you extend in country which is why most people leave around 180 days and return

On return into Thailand ( so far) all that is checked is passport, visa and TDAC

Of course things may change in the future but not yet 😀

Some places accept Wise some don’t

Some need money in the account for months others don’t

Best idea is to check with the embassy you are planning to use
