Can I ask you: are there any IO that do not require having funds seasoned for 2 months prior to date of application for the first non-o visa (As in Pattaya, Phuket etc...)? What about Bangkok IO?

Does anyone know for what period I need to provide tickets from Thailand and hotel booking - 60 days or 90 days is also possible? vientiane.thaiembassy:"Travel itinerary to and from Thailand and accommodation e.g. plane/train/bus ticket, hotel booking, letter from whom you will be staying with"

In Pattaya there is online booking.

I have only seen 5% fixed deposits for 6 and 9 months at Krungsri Bank.

At Jomtien IO - 3 mohths before extention, are you sure? Someone said that 2 months before first extention and during this time I can transfer funds from one bank account to another.

Bangkok Bank in Pattaya

Is the fee at the airport the same?

Thank you! Is two months enough in the Pattaya Jomtien IO?

Yes. I have 800k on saving acc, but I don't have non-o visa yet and I can open the FD acc only with non-o visa (open the FD acc is impossible with my current tourist visa). So, I will get a 3 months non-o visa and open a fixed deposit in the same bank. If I transfer funds from saving acc to FD acc, will this not be a problem for extending my non-o? As far as I know, in order to extend non-o, the 800k must be in the bank account for 2 or 3 months before the date of extension. But in my case the funds will be transferred from one account to another acc (hopefully within one day) and I'm worried about it.

Thanks, this info is also useful. But I mean your method how do you use fixed deposit for non-o retirement visa extension. For example, now I have 800k on saving acc. Next, I apply for a 3 months non-o visa and open a fixed deposit. How can I transfer funds (from Saving to FD) so that immigration approves it for visa extension?

Hello, DrJack54. I remember that last year you described this method with fixed deposit but I can't find that message. Can you, please, send me a link if you remember it :-) ?

Hi! Is it possible to transfer 800k from savings account to new fixed deposit account during the three month period before non-o retirement visa 1 year renewal? (Pattaya - Jomtien immigration) I want to get a non-o retirement visa and then open a fixed deposit acc, because right now I can’t open this deposit with a tourist visa. Hope the Kasikorn bank will transfer the money within one day.

They don't require to update the passbook with a transaction (withdraw or deposit) before submitting docs? Because it is not possible with a fixed deposit.

Hi! How can I do it if I have 1-2-3 years fixed deposit in a bank? Does the Chonburi (Jomtien) office accept fixed deposits?
