Now this is the engrish translation of the police order spelling out how the seasoning works for retirement extensions
You can clearly see is says
The alien can then choose to withdraw the funds 3 months after the permission ๐ถ๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฑ
to me that means the date you applied for it (that they inked the new extension into your passport). ..
BUT
I'm not the immigration officer you're going to be sitting in front of next year when you get your extension issued looking at your previous yearly transaction report to check the seasoning was followed ๐
This topic of the post extension banked money method seasoning comes up often
There is no real consensus on if it's 3 months from the date you APPLIED (get the extension inked in)
or
3 months from the date the extension takes EFFECT (which is the day your current extension runs out).
You should ask your immigration office about it because what you don't wanna do is have the balance of the 800K go below for what ever 3 month post extension seasoning your office follows. That will run you right off the rails next year ๐ I mean I'd certainly err on the side of caution
