Yes,it normally does unless bad karma hits you. My transfers have always shown up as international at Bangkok Bank. Shit will eventually happen but there are ways to fix that if needed. No biggie.
That's what I've always said. But try to explain that to people here. People who have been here a very short time and failed to open a bank account. Go figure.
Yes,you can.That's a standard quite straight forward procedure at immigration. You listened to wrong immigration officer. I guess he wanted you to pay for the change of visa incl the 1 year extension.
Please tell where you don't need for example 800k in a Thai bank if you change from tourist visa to a 90 days Non-O based on retirement. Isn't that a financial requirement?
