Do I need to maintain my 800,000 baht in a retirement visa account for a specific period after the extension is granted?

@Leo *****

yes and no.. if you get a spouse extension, it's 400k for 2 months prior to applying. After acceptance, you can do whatever you want with the 400k and they also don't care where it came from. If you choose to use a joint account with wife, it needs to be 800k because th ai law sees all assets and liabilities as unless stated otherwise in prenup. Thai law doesn't give a shit about when it comes to visas though... ironic.

Eg foreign women married to thai men don't any money at all.

Two retirement visas is two accounts with 800k, if you can get a trailing spouse Non-O then it's only one for the retirement visa

@Leo *****

can do dependent/trailing spouse, or have separate visas , so yes you can keep one 800k amount

Thank you for the comprehensive response. 800k for sixty days prior to the day one applies for a retirement visa. You saved me asking the question.
