I had 800,000 bhat in Bangkok Bank 60 days before arriving on June 15th. It's now exactly 90 days after arrival. Can I spend money now or the date my visa was reproved? I had to enter the country before my yearly visa expired on June 23rd. The visa was approved on the 21st.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The community clarified that to maintain the retirement visa requirements in Thailand, one must keep 800,000 baht in the bank at least two months before applying for an extension and for three months after the visa has been approved, without dropping below 400,000 baht for the rest of the year. For those considering a marriage visa, the requirement is 400,000 baht, needing to be maintained two months before applying, but there's no specified minimum after approval. A suggestion was made for having a fixed deposit account to simplify adherence to these financial mandates.
