it's a part of the standing police order of the change of visa type" that the 800,000 THB must have been transferred from abroad for the application to the initial visa. Jomtien Immigration makes an exception, however Jomtien will ask for a 2 (or a 3!) months seasoning for the application to the initial visa

@Tony ********

2 million THB to Bangkok Bank, 2 million to Kasikorn, 1.5 million to Siam Commercial Bank. And only 49,999 THB to all other banks

and if you use WISE, and need the transfer to be coded as having come from abroad, you need to pick the correct reason for the transfer when asked by WISE. Because WISE normally uses their Thai account for the last step, so it will be coded by your Thai bank as having come from inside Thailand

sorry I do not have an answer to that. . ya need to contact a pro

you should check "pet travel Thailand" before, as it might cost you 3000 US Dollars per cat to get them to Thailand

For the 90-days Non-O visa application in your home country, it can be on any bank account anywhere, as long as it is in your name

For the application to the 1-year Extension of Stay, it must be on a Thai bank account in your sole name

If you do the “change of visa type” inside Thailand from a touristic entry to a 90-days Non-O visa, the money must sit in a Thai bank account in your sole name

so Immigration Phetchabun will be added to my list of weird offices that don't follow the standing police order 😉🙂 Yes, best advice, must check, I always advise it

@Charlie **********

only on the Jomtien, Khon Kaen and Samui Immigration! On most other Immigrations, the 800,000 THB just need to sit in the account, no seasoning needed for the application to the initial 90-days Non-Imm-O visa. A 2 months seasoninh is then needed for the application to the 1-year extension of stay

@Michael ********

look, man. If you were married outside of Thailand, you need to get the marriage acknowledged in Thailand before you can use it the the 60-days family extension, or for an application to the "1-year extension of stay permit based on being married to a Thai wife"
