Can I Have Two Separate Bank Accounts in Thailand for Immigration Purposes?

John *********

I have to put the 800,000 in the bank for a year. Not sure what you are suggesting.

If I put that 800,000 in a savings account I get .025%

If I put it in a fixed account, I get 2.4% , though I can only take money out by going inside the bank to the teller and not through an ATM or wire transfer to pay bills

@Robert *********

that would be most appreciated. That is the bank that gave me the option of the .025% savings book or the fixed account at 2.4%.

@Cliff ********

I am simply talking about the 2.4% interest they give on a fixed account as opposed to the 0.25% interest on a savings account

I had read as long as it was an account I had access to on a daily basis. It would be fine.. this fixed account that they were telling me about I can take money out any day I want to, but I have to do it at the branch teller, not by ATM or a wire transfer

What bank should I choose in Patong after receiving my Non-O visa?

John *********

at the end of my 60 days I flew to Cambodia and submitted the E visa online the evening that I arrived. It took 10 business days so two full weeks. But Cambodia it was so cheap. It was not a problem. I had great hotels for less than $30 a night. Getting into Cambodia you just fill out a form on an iPad and pay $30.
