, I'm delighted to help people who are prepared to help themselves, assuming they show that predisposition to begin with

@Keith ******

stuck record, eh? Didn't you read what I just said in all niceness?

, maybe you should provide some basic instructions, like sites that people should consult before they just ask that silly questions here. The laziness is not acceptable. They should spend some time googling around, visiting government sites and getting a rough idea of what is going on, and then ask, with some basic knowledge under their belts, questions from people, who would be more than happy to answer and help. Do you get my point?

The quota may be full that's why they're making it difficult because too many is too many

, I happened to be in the area and dropped into the immigration office. Charming and friendly attention as I explained I wished to change over the money and once the 3 months have passed after receiving the extension of stay to possibly another bank that offers a higher interest rate. Absolutely no problem, as long as one communicates this fact to immigration. I asked whether it would be a violation of dropping below the 400,000 that is supposed to remain in there at all times, as that was my major concern. Not an issue you can transfer the whole lot straight into another bank, in my case the 800,000, inform immigration and you're good to go. This may vary from location to location but that's what I was told but that's what I was told today in the Northeast. Thanks to the person you pointed this out. I didn't went to country corn and established that the interest rates are way below 2% in the best case scenario. So it looks like SCB is the best bet, although the queue was so long by the time I got there that I couldn't be bothered and decided to leave it for another day.
