Hey

My seven year old phone took a dump and lost all my bookmarks

What is the type/name (BBL) of fixed deposit I can absolutely use for my marriage extension please?

I have plenty of time to move the money to re-season if need be

Is it linked to my passbook? Essentially a note, stamp, entry ...?

Many thanks 🙏

What's wrong with visiting a bank branch.

Why the site has no proper title?

It's about fixed deposit account.

No. You have to open a new / additional account and move/transfer the money there.

Because I may not want to do it. Perfect example: I just learned that I need to open up a new account and that probably is not worth the hassle for me making a special trip to inquire. Next time I'm in I might gauge the hassle factor. I don't visit the large branch often perhaps quarterly at best. I just do monthly pull

I believe that Immigration demands that It must be a fixed deposit account which you have access to, i.e., that you can make withdrawals from.

I use a 12-months fixed account in BBL for my extension of stay based on retirement, which has worked well for more than 10 years.

That's the norm for this account type.

The balance shown is fully available any time.

Just loose interest for the next period if you withdraw.

See link above from Bangkok Bank.

Advantage: no transactions via Internet/Mobile Banking possible.

No ATM card.

So no accidental access lowering below 800k as is often described here.

I was turned down at Udon Thani immigration once because I had set aside 800k for visa purposes in a fixed deposit account.

We all know different offices have different standards, but that is the one I encountered at the time.

In Phuket I have always been told to make a small transfer in or out on the day before visa renewal so as to prove accessibility.

Using the maxim of following the path of least resistance, I have always kept the 800k in a separate savings account and done the small transaction the day before.
