I've just applied for a one year extension to my Non O visa - retirement. Picking up passport tomorrow 👍 this is based on the 800k in thai bank. Next year I will change to the 65k+ pm method which I started making the required international transfers for several months ago. I know that the 800k is supposed to remain in the bank untouched for 3 months. My question is this. Once the visa is issued for this year can I withdraw the 800k as I will be switching to monthly transfers for next years application?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user questions whether they can withdraw the 800,000 baht required for their Non-O visa extension after their visa is issued. Responses clarify that they must maintain at least 400,000 baht in their account for the rest of the extension period. They can withdraw half of the amount after three months, but must uphold the requirement of having 800,000 baht for that period. Next year's application will require evidence of monthly international transfers of at least 65,000 baht, which can be spent as long as it shows in their account.
