Yes, and the deposit of the 800k into the Bank account don't need to come from abroad. Nothing else I wrote.

Carsten ************

correct, and in that case the money is always put into account within Thailand and it doesn't need to be marked FTT. At least my deposits never came from abroad.

Carsten ************

Sorry, since the "initial Visa" is usually applied for in your home country, i can't really believe that. In my understanding ONLY the income method needs to be marked FTT in your bank book.

1st year you need the 800k. If you have all the 12 month an income from abroad into your Thai bank account of minimum 65k THB, you can use that from 2nd year onwards.

the 800k don't need to be from abroad. That's only if you use the income method.

you don't need any money for the 90 day non-o visa itself, but you need 800k in the account 2 month prior to the 12 month extension.

Can I open a Bangkok bank account in Pattaya and show the statement from another branch for my visa extension?

Carsten ************

Every Bank branch can give you a statement for the last 6 months. Statements for 12 months they have to order from Bangkok Headquarters. However, many branches will refuse any service and gonna tell you to visit your home branch.
