ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses the requirements for renewing a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand, specifically regarding the need for an updated bank passbook that shows a balance of at least 800,000 THB on the day of the application. The user is asking whether keeping this amount in a fixed deposit account is permissible, given that fixed deposits may not allow for easy withdrawal. Responses clarify that while the 800,000 THB must be in an accessible account, certain fixed deposit accounts might still meet the requirement if they allow for withdrawals, albeit with penalties.
