Will Thai immigration accept funds from a high interest savings account as proof of funds?

Dave ***********

Anonymous participant 101 you do if you want to extend the 180 stamp at the local immigration office. The extension process is more or less the same requirement for getting the actual visa. Much easier to pop out of Thailand just before the expiry of 180 days, and back in for a new 180 day stamp

DTV will be easier to get if you meet the criteria for freelancing. It’s good for 5 years, multiple entry-whilst you decide what you what to do long term.

Have recent DTV holders experienced bank account closures at Bangkok Bank?

Dave ***********

I opened 2 Thai bank accounts, SCB 14 years ago, and K.Bank 5 years ago. Both accounts were opened when I had Non Imm B and work permit. Since changing to DTV 2 months ago, my Bank accounts still function as normal. I have heard nothing from either bank. I’m not assuming I will have no issues in the future, but so far so good
