Good afternoon,
My first message did not go thru.
I have a 1 year extension based on work permit with my wife as dependent.
I plan to switch to 1 year extension based on retiree with my wife dependent as well in 2024. I know the obligation of having the 800 000 baths for at least 2 months prior change.
My questions:
800 000 is ok for me and my wife as dependent ?
I will transfer every month my pension which is over 65000 baths. Will I be able to use this to renew my 1 year extension in 2025 and in that case how should I monitor my 800 000 baths deposit ?
I hope I am clear
Thanks a lot in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user plans to switch from a work permit extension to a retiree extension in Thailand and inquires about the financial obligations, specifically the 800,000 Baht requirement and the use of pension income for visa renewal. It was clarified that only the user needs to maintain the 800,000 Baht in their Thai bank account for two months prior to application, while their wife can apply as a dependent. The funds must remain in the account for three months post-approval, and afterward must not drop below 400,000 Baht. The user can also utilize their monthly pension income for future extensions.
