Are Thai Immigration Monitoring the 800k Requirement After Retirement Extension Issuance?
Are immigration monitoring the 800k in your bank accounts after your retirement extension was issued?
I remember last year it was a new requirement to leave money in the bank and wondered if t is being implemented.

Answer summary
Yes, Thai immigration does monitor the 800K baht requirement for retirement extensions. After your extension is granted, you must maintain the 800K in your bank account for three months, and thereafter, the balance should not drop below 400K for the remainder of the year. Some immigration offices may mandate a follow-up to check your bank balance either through a scheduled appointment or by requiring a year-end bank statement.

If you are using the 800K banked money method for proof of funds, you need to keep the money in the account 3 months AFTER you get your extension granted and then you can't let the balance get below 400K baht after that for the rest of the year
Some (as in a few) immigration offices give you a paper stating to come back on xxx date with an updated copy of your bank book,
MOST (as in every place else) immigration offices will just make you do a year print out month by month of the bank balance when you go for your next yearly extension and will look to see that you followed the seasoning guidelines.
