Non o retirement extension. Via Thai bank funds. Q. Does the required 3 months of 800k baht start from the date of my April application or the 1 June 2025 date stamped in the passport ?
Answer summary
The inquiry is about whether the 3-month requirement for holding 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for a Non-O retirement extension starts from the application date or the effective date stamped in the passport. The consensus among commenters suggests there's uncertainty, with some indicating that it might be counted from the date the extension is granted, while others recommend consulting with the immigration office for clarity to avoid penalties.

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 ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ

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 ๐Ÿ˜›

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 ๐Ÿ™ I mean I'd certainly err on the side of caution

You're asking about the 3 month post extension seasoning right?

Meaning the 800k baht banked money has to be in your account for 3 months after the extension is granted, Correct?
