Can I use AUD in a Thai bank to meet the 800,000 THB requirement for my Non-O extension?
Marty *********
OK. I've not heard of multi-currency accounts. My bad. I just transfer transfer money from the US monthly and pay the $35. I supposed at this point I could transfer larger amounts less frequently.

 The last time I went it was 45 minutes. The lesson learned is don’t go on a Monday. I did my Thai language homework with the time.

 Oh yes. I will have the notarized affidavit too. I always over prepared. I only want one trip to the immigration office. I was there over 3 hours last week for a 90 day checkin.

There is also the other avenue of keeping 800,000 baht in a Thai bank. I plan on bringing both my Thai bank statements and my income statements when I go for the first time in November.

 I did all this last year. I got my visa in the US and opened a Thai bank account after I got here. A word of advice. Make sure your bank in your home country is experienced in international bank wire transfers. My US bank, Wells Fargo, was awful and caused me big problems initially. I had to go back and change banks.
