O Visa bank requirements

[tprender]

I have two bank accounts, savings and deposit, with Bangkok Bank at present. Can I use the deposit account for the 800,000 baht requirement instead of the savings account? Are there any restrictions?

Yes you can use the savings account...get a letter from bank (can take up to one week to get the letter if for one year) prior to renewal to show you have had the funds for the required time. Suggest that on the morning you go to immigration, you add some funds

(minimum 2,000 baht) and get the bank book updated.

You can use any account or even two accounts to meet the financials.

The requirements are 800k pre and post day of application and minimum 400k at other times.

Depending on your immigration office you may require 12 month bank statements or for some offices copies of your bank book pages is sufficient.

You need to obtain bank letter (100baht).

Best obtained on day of application.

Some offices want to see "activity" on day of application.

Small deposit/withdrawal is good idea.

The only restriction is that any account used for immigration must allow for instant withdrawal of the principal.

 

Personally I have been using a 4 year fixed term deposit for the last 3 years (it does allow for instant no notice withdrawal, with loss of interest,)
