Does my 800k require a full-year stay in the bank for my OA visa extension if I can have it back in time for the application?

Hi, I am currently on my first extension of stay of a OA visa based on being father of a Thai child. I will be making a condo purchase which will mean I will clear out my money to purchase the property/company

My question does the 800k have to be in the bank account all year round?

What is the seasoning for a OA visa extension of stay?

I will be able to have 800k back in my Thai Bank account before I have to reapply for my extension next year In April 

Thank you

Summary so far

The original poster (OP) is seeking clarification on the financial requirements for extending their OA visa, specifically regarding whether the 800,000 THB needs to remain in their bank account for the entire year or only at the time of application. Other community members point out potential confusion regarding the type of visa the OP holds, suggesting they might be on a different visa linked to being a father of a Thai child, which may only require 400,000 THB in the bank. The conversation highlights the need for the OP to clarify their current visa status to receive accurate advice.

The OP needs to confirm exactly what his current permission to stay is before valid advice can be given, he is mixing up so many things it is impossible to know what he actually has,

I think you're on an O visa if it's based on being a father of a Thai child. If that's the case you only need 400k in your bank not 800k and it only needs to be there on the day that you apply for the visa, no seasoning required

I don't think you are on an O-A visa...that is for retirement and issued only from home country.
