I just got my retirement extension, and have to go back in 90 days, do I still have to do the 90 day report that I was meant to do in April? (I arrived in Thailand in January). Also if after I do my report to show the 800k in my bank, what happens if during the next 9 months my money goes below 400k?
Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user asks about their obligation to file a 90-day report after receiving a retirement extension in Thailand and queries the consequences of their bank balance potentially falling below 400,000 baht after showing 800,000 baht during reporting. The community clarifies that the 90-day report and the bank balance verification processes are separate. Though the user must maintain a minimum bank balance of 400,000 baht to avoid issues during their next yearly extension application, falling below this amount could lead to severe consequences, including fines and potential bans.

Now, after you prove you had the money in your account 3 months after you got your extension granted the rest of the rule IS you need to not let the balance go below 400K baht the rest of the year. They aren't gonna check this until NEXT year when you apply for another extension. But when you go for your next yearly extension if during the previous year it went below the 400K baht minimum you won't get a new yearly extension.
inside the country NO, :( Keep in mind in THEORY <- as in how the law is written, they should cancel your extension on the day the balance went below 400K and then charge you 500 baht a day overstay since that date (capping out at 20K baht fine) and ban you for a year if the time your balance went below 400K was more than 90 days ago. :O My advice is do what ever you can to NOT break the terms of your extension.
, I was not telling you the above to scare you (as I dislike scaremongering) I was only letting you know how they could interpret the rules IF they so chose to when you showed up to get a new yearly extension after your balance went below 400K baht at some point during your previous yearly extension.
Take care, good luck, look for that 90 day report receipt or ask them :)

What office did you get your year extension from? Jomtien?

They are one of the few immigration offices that give you an A4 paper copy that says come back in 3 months and show your updated bank book. That paper looks like this;
and just to confirm, I told you to check your passport when you pick it up for that little paper telling you when your first 90 day report is & if it wasn't in there to to ASK them. ;)
then once you get your passport back but before you walk out of that office, check for that paper and if it's NOT in there ASK them when your first 90 day report would be due. :)
They already told me the date in June where I have to prove I have 800k in my account, I wasn't sure if I had to do a 90 day report from my entry date in January, but you have said I don't, Thanks

As a rule when you get your FIRST year extension, they put a paper in your passport saying when you go back to do your first 90 day report. It looks like this

Where you already ON a year extension when you came in OR were you on a NEW 90 day Non-O visa entry?
