My first application for Extension of Stay was based on my "two months" on a

"savings account" with 800,000 Baht and it was successful. I also understand

that a "Fix Deposit" for three months is also accepted.

The question I would like to ask is this. For next year I have deposited more

than 800,000 Baht on a "Fix Deposit" account for "seven months" in order to get more

interests. Will my "seven months" of more than 800,000 Baht in a Fix Deposit account face any problems ?

Your kind advice is much appreciated.

Thanking you all in advance. Khap Khon Khap.

If a cash account that the 800k can be withdrawn from without loss of principle it should be accepted.

Why go fix, when saving account give you just as much. And tax free if interest <20,000 baht.year

Standard Chartered e-Saving give 3% (no limit on number of withdraw by tranfer to any bank)

TMB (MEbyTMB) e-saving gives 3.5% (no limit on number of withdraw by tranfer to another TMB bank account, or 2 times if transfer to other bank account)

The TMB account is unsuitable for anyone outside Bangkok. It is also only really accessible to Thai-speaking persons.

The SC account is unsuitable for anyone outside Bangkok or a few other areas, most of which are not popular with retired farangs.

Shouldn't be a problem 'Charlie' but as always it depends on which office you deal with. I used an 11 months fixed deposit account with SCB last time I did my annual extension which was accepted.
