Does dropping below 800k baht on the retirement visa extension date violate the rules?

After the 1 year extension on the retirement visa has been given, the 800k needs to be in the bank account for 3 months.

I got my extension on the 19th of May. By mistake the balance dropped under 800k exactly on the 19th of August at 22:00. Does this break the rules or not?
Answer summary
A user is inquiring whether their retirement visa extension is affected after their bank balance fell below the required 800,000 THB amount on August 19th, despite being granted the extension on May 19th. Community comments suggest that the balance should ideally remain above 800,000 THB for the full three months following the extension approval date, with varying interpretations of the 'three months' requirement based on different immigration offices.

Some offices uses 3 months after the application and some 90 days after. It's not the same thing. At Jomtien immigration it's 90 days. We had earlier something called a "90 days money check". It's gone since a few years. 😎

Probably not as three months should be until 18th of august, so if you don’t go under 400K baht you should be fine.
