Fellow members, to some this might be a stupid question. After you have obtained your relevant 90 day O /OA visa in your own Country, in my case U.K., when it is time to apply for the yearly extension, be it retirement or marriage, I understand it's a requirement that you show you have the required funds for the 'seasoned' period, but in subsequent years do you have to transfer the required lump sum funds every year, or can it be an accumulation..
E.g. If someone transfers, let's say 800,000b , its ' seasoned' and applies for extension without any issues, then during the subsequent year they only use, let's say 500,000b leaving 300,000b excess. Do you have to transfer anther 800,000 or 500,000 for the seasoned time... hope that made sense , thanks in advance 🤑
TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for the yearly extension of a NON-O or NON-OA visa in Thailand, it's necessary to show that the required funds (800,000 THB for OA) have been seasoned again for each application. Even if you have previously transferred the necessary amount and used some of it, you must ensure the full amount is seasoned at the time of application, regardless of how much of it remains from last year.
