I have a separate account with minimal transactions for the 800 k.

@Paul ******

fair enough. Wish I could give you a definite answer.

If you are dealing with the Thai Embassy in London to get a COE, why would you not ask them this question and get a definitive answer?

@Ronald *******

logic says it should be okay. Unfortunately logic is not always applied. Best of luck.

Your bank will know what to provide.

I wasn't offered that by Pacific Cross where I did mine. I asked for the date to be the same date as the expiry of my existing extension so I could get the full 12 months on the new extension even though I was at immigration 8 days prior to the expiry date. I was at immigration on June 18th and my current extension expired on June 26th. I had no issue with this at Jomtien. No doubt other immigration offices could take a different view.

@Dianne ****

true.

@Darren ********

he only has to leave and re-enter to get the “free” second year. He can always pay his 1,900 baht for the second year if necessary.

@Tod ********

That should be simple enough but some people will still not understand.

Songkran was cancelled in April so Friday and Monday are replacement holidays.
