A quick Question about the Retirement Visa in Thailand:

Do you have to show Proof of the 800Ks only when you apply or every 90 Days?
Answer summary
When applying for a Retirement Visa (NON-O) in Thailand, you need to provide proof of having at least 800,000 THB in your account only at the time of application and yearly extensions. This amount must be present in your Thai bank account for at least two months prior to the application. Some users reported differing requirements based on local immigration offices. It's advisable to check with your local immigration office for specific requirements.

When I renewed my Non-O Retirement Visa, Immigration required a letter from the bank stating how much was in the account, AND a statement showing the balances in the account for the past year.

Do it the easy way. Open a separate bank account, stick 800,000b in it and forget about it. No muss, no fuss, no hassles.

If you choose to manipulate the money in your account, sooner or later you will screw up and lose your Visa.

And remember, you have an ATM card, so if you decide to bail on Thailand, you can use the card to withdraw the money from elsewhere.

Contact your local immigration office as it sometimes differed from province to province. It shouldn't but it does. Download the "latest" income requirements from the people who are going to process your application. That way all should be fine.

Non O based on marriage, if possible, even better. Only 400 K for the year.

The Immi Bangkok write:

"Have at least 800,000 Thai baht in a Thai Bank account which is in your name. This money must have been cleared in the account at least 2 months prior to making your application."

Peter Stryjecki. Yeah......but it's still money that has to stay in the bank until (1) you leave Thailand (2) you die. Personally I prefer my funds to be more flexible. And interest rates are not real good with banks. My Superannuation fund paid 7.5% last financial year, and that's tax free.

Colin Rouse. But you have to keep minimum 400k for the rest of the year. Dead money. The 65k/month income is the better option
