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.

Personally I would leave it over 800k full year. Drop below in allowed months needs topped up ,best leave 800k saves any doubts or problems raising back to 800k
that 800K baht in the account for 3 months after the extension is granted and the one about keeping a minimum of 400k baht in the bank account for the rest of the year is something they will specifically look for NEXT year when you get your new extension and if you didn't meet that your current extension is void as of that date ๐ฎ
