TLDR : Answer Summary
The 800,000 baht requirement for the Retirement Visa must be maintained for at least three months after the extension is granted and for two months before the next extension application. However, throughout the rest of the year, the account balance cannot drop below 400,000 baht.

The 800,000 baht must be in your account 2 months prior to your extension and 3 months after your extension is granted and for the remainder of the year you can’t go below 400,000 in your account.

It can’t go below 400,000 baht.

Can’t drop below 400K baht at any time, and 800K baht for three months after extension is issued and two months prior to next extension.
