Hello! My husband and I have a 1 year Retirement visa based on 65k monthly deposits. We renewed our visas in April 2026 and the next renewal will be in April 2027. We are considering to switch from the 65 k monthly deposits to the 800k money in the bank.

Hello! My husband has a 1 year Retirement visa based on 65k monthly deposits and I have one as a dependent/spouse. We renewed our visas in April 2026 and the next renewal will be in April 2027. We are considering switching from the 65 k monthly deposits to the 800k money in the bank. 

If we deposit the 800k now, can we stop bringing the monthly 65k at any time now and safely be able to renew our visa in April 2027?

Thank you for your answers!
