Theoretical question about taking my 800000 thb back. I am on a O visa / retirement and need to leave the usual money on my bank. Apparently this will be controlled whenever I need my 90 days stamp. however - what if I leave the country every 90 days - in that case i don’t need to report and the immigration at the airport won’t request my bank book. So I guess the point where I get in trouble would be when I apply for 1 year extension. But what if for the last 14 months i can prove the monthly income of 65000+ thb to my account. I wouldn’t need the 800000 then. is my logic right?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user questions whether they can withdraw the mandatory 800,000 THB from their bank account while on a retirement O visa in Thailand, especially since they may not need to provide bank statements if they leave the country every 90 days for a stamp. Respondents clarify that while it's possible to switch between the 'banked money' method and 'monthly income' method for visa extensions, the user must comply with the financial requirements of their current visa, including maintaining the 800,000 THB in the bank for a specific duration prior to applying for an extension.
