I just got my 1 year extension for my non immigration O retirement visa. I have had the 800,000 baht in my bank account. Can I take some of that money and re-deposit it back into the account the next day or 2. We have a celebration and itโs just for show.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster (OP) is inquiring about the regulations surrounding their recently approved non-immigrant O retirement visa extension, specifically if they can withdraw some of the required 800,000 baht from their bank account and then re-deposit it a few days later for a celebration. The responses stress the importance of not touching the 800k, as there are strict rules: the full amount must remain in the account for three months post-extension approval, and it should not drop below 400k to maintain the retirement visa. Several comments suggest keeping the funds untouched in a separate account to avoid any risk of falling below the required minimum.
