Surely not. Certain airlines will only accept online payment using a credit card, not a debit card. Roojai Insurance, for example, state online payments by credit/debit card, but when entering a debit card number the system won't process it. When you contact customer services, you are informed the payment system only accepts credit cards, but they can manually process debit card payments.

Debit and Card number sequences are different. Some systems will accept debit/credit cards, others that specifically want a credit card, will not accept a debit card.

Which is not the same as 6 months at any bank.

Debit card?

Not that I'll ever use them, but just comparing both. Onward ticket issues the ticket within seconds for $16. Onward flight issues within 12 hours, or 4 hours for an additional $5.50 to the standard $7 charge. Note, onward flights only accepts PayPal and Credit cards for payment.

Onward ticket, now $16.

It would also be enlightening to know which IO issued the Non O + extension, and whether that is also his local office. If not, unless the agent is completing his 90 day reports as part of the deal, then the OP won't be able to file 90-day reports at his local IO, unless his first files a new TM30.

I'm going purely based on the OP's statement that his 1 year extension is valid until 13th August 2025. The date of approval is irrelevant, it's the date his current extension started that is relevant, and that must be from 13th Aug 2024 if it's valid until 13th Aug 2025. Therefore, provided any future bank statement is dated prior to or from 13th Aug 2024, it will provide evidence of the 800K being in the account for 3 months after the extension started. Sounds as though the agent circumvented the requirement for the 800K funds to be deposited for 2 months prior to issuing the extension. I've seen all sorts of dates when agents are involved, such as both the Non O and 1 year extension approved and issued the same day, so it would have been simpler to give a definite answer had the OP posted his stamps as you requested.

If indeed his permission of stay is valid until13th Aug 2025, then the 1 ear extension must have started 13th Aug 2024, otherwise it wouldn't be 12 months. Any permission of stay prior to those dates was the Non O. Even if the OP applied next year on 12th Aug 2025, a 12-month bank statement would include the 3-month period after the extension start date of 13th Aug 2024.

All FTD accounts are instantly accessible, that's why they are accepted by Immigration. It's the term that you fix, not the funds. You still have access to funds at any time, but incur a penalty for early withdrawal before the term end, usually a loss of accrued interest.

If you have permission of stay until 13th Aug 2025, then when you intend to submit your next extension application, just request a 12 month bank statement.

Yes. Up to 6 months at any bank.

That info graph was posted by Immigration. The new info graph was posted specifically by Bangkok Immigration and only appears on their specific website. The general Immigration website still states; Note ** Aliens can report their residence before 15 days or after 7 days from the due date. If the deadline is exceeded or the notification date is exceeded, aliens must report themselves in person to proceed with the fine comparison. **In the case of exceeding the residence notification deadline, foreigners who report themselves will be subject to a fine of 2,000 baht. Having just submitted a 90 day report earlier this month, my IO confirmed online it is still 14 day before up to the due date.

As you're probably aware, you can withdraw and spend the full 400K once the extension is granted, then top up to 400K again 2 months before applying for the following year's extension. However, if you keep the 400K+ in the account throughout the year, then a Fixed term deposit account is more beneficial as they give a much higher interest rate than a Savings account. Regardless of the type of account, you only need a 3-month bank statement.

You're extending your permission of stay (not the visa) using the 400K funds in the bank method, then you only require a 3-month bank statement and passbook updated for the previous 3 months. The 400K is only required to be in a Thai bank account for 2 months prior to the date of application. I use the same method. Funds in a Fixed term deposit account.

I assume you're applying for a 1 year extension of stay, rather than a Non O visa at Immigration based on Thai spouse. It sounds as though you're using the income method of 40K monthly overseas transfers as well. Updated passbook and 12 month bank statement in that case. Bank statements are much easier to read to identify the monthly overseas 'credits' to your account. The Current Immigration orders also state a 'bank statement' is required.

Unless otherwise specifically instructed, then if staying continuously for 90 days in Thailand, then a 90-day report must be filed.

What could be easier than sitting in a chair in the comfort of your own home and applying online for the Non O visa, which you receive by return email, against entering VE, filing a TM30, then visiting your local Immigration office in person, with a handful of printed documents and completing a TM7 form, travel, expense, time when that can all be avoided. Of course if you can't meet the financial requirements for the Non O, then it's a different matter.

I never raised the question, just answered it.

Att @bigt3116 Financial requirements acceptable to Immigration for an in Country application for the Non O based on Thai spouse. Note 7.1 - Income method. Note 7.2 - Funds in the bank method.

If I may answer your reply @bigt3116 My reply was to a member enquiring about using the income method. He isn't employed or working, so his only option would be to use the 40K monthly overseas transfers to a Thai bank account, OR, an Embassy Income letter (subject to his nationality) for the 1-year extension. You mentioned income from within Thailand was an alternative method, which I acknowledged, adding it was by means of a tax receipt and payslips, however in this instance it wasn't applicable. Already acknowledged, you can use income from within Thailand for the 1 year extension of stay. However, for the in Country Non O application, you are totally incorrect regarding the income method. Only an Embassy Income letter is acceptable in this instance. Immigration do not accept either income from within Thailand, or 40K monthly overseas transfers.

Whether you have to file 4 or only 3 times a year depends on your IO. My office always reset the 90 day report date from the time of approving an extension application. This means the 4th due report is within the last couple of weeks of my due extension renewal date. As I always apply for my extension at least 30 days in advance, they remove the 90 day notification slip and tell me to forget it. When my extension is approved (Thai spouse) they give me a new report date due 90 days after the extension date. Effectively, I only submit 3 x 90 day reports a year.

I love to watch Ben Hart when I'm feeling down and need a good laugh.

You have a 1-year extension of stay, which is a permit, not a visa + a ME re-entry permit. TM6 arrival cards were discontinued other than land border crossings. The ETA is only required if entering without a visa (visa exempt) and not yet applicable.

I file my 90 day on the last possible day, otherwise I'm reporting less than every 90 days. If rejected, which the last 4 out of 6 have been, then it's only a 10-minute drive to file in person. Obviously a PITA if you're an hour's drive away. I apply for my annual extension 30–45 days before the due date, as the new extension is dated from expiry of the previous extension.
