Do I need to show a bank letter at my first 90-day report after re-entering Thailand on a retirement visa?

Retirement Visa 90-day Reporting Bank Requirements Thailand Immigration Visa Extension

Oct 16, 2022

ORIGINAL POSTER

My Retirement Ext. expired during the COVID period (I was on holiday in Europe when it struck).  I returned to Thailand in April this year and got it up and running again in August...I had the 800,000 already in the bank. Due to unforseen circumstances I had to return to Europe that same month (August). I have now returned this month (October).   My question is..."Will I have to produce a letter from my bank on my first 90 day signing from the date of my re-entering Thailand.

  During my 23 years here I only had to have that letter when renewing the Extension...I think that has now changed, and one must produce a letter at the first 90 day reporting to show you have 400,000 in the bank.

  Will be most grateful for your advice... I ask because I was thinking of withdrawing my money in the bank for other uses ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires whether they must present a bank letter showing a minimum balance of 400,000 THB during their first 90-day report after returning to Thailand following the expiration of their retirement extension. Comments indicate that generally there is no requirement to show funds for the 90-day report, but some immigration offices may request proof of funds when applying for a renewal of the extension.

Well Robert Curtis, what I read before; When you ask the year extension, for which the money has to be 2 months before and 3 months after your application date has to be in your bank account, there ARE imm. offices who want you to show your bankbook at the first 90 day report. This to check if the money was there for the 3 months after indeed. Maybe that's what the officer meant.

At the time of renewing your extension you’ll need to provide proof that your balance didn’t go below 400k. Not an issue for a 90 day report.
