To Just want to confirm if I have a Thai retirement visa for more than a year, am I able to withdraw money from the bank account going under the 800,000k as long as it is returned prior to 3 months before renewal. Does the money going back in the acvount have to come from overseas or it just has to return to the 800k?

Thank you
Answer summary
A Thai retirement visa holder can withdraw money from their bank account, but they must ensure that the balance returns to 800,000 THB at least 2 months prior to their visa renewal application. The 800,000 THB must remain in the account for 3 months after the extension is granted, and during the year, the balance must not drop below 400,000 THB. Additionally, the funds do not necessarily have to come from overseas when returning to the required threshold.
