Hi,
My Retirement visa extension was just approved in Phuket.
My question is this…
I want to change banks. I realize I can’t do it before the 3 months after extension approval but is there a rule whereby you can’t move the 800k?
TLDR : Answer Summary
After the approval of your retirement visa extension, you can change banks, but there are considerations regarding the 800,000 baht requirement. You must maintain this amount in your Thai bank account for three months post-approval. It's recommended to consult with your local immigration office about how to manage this transfer during that period and ensure there are no gaps in your required balance. Risk exists if there’s any lapse in maintaining the minimum required deposits.
