How can I legitimize my retirement visa situation in Thailand after going through an agent?

The problem seems to be, if you want to do the extension yourself next time, you need to meet the financial requirements, for the previous year to when you are doing a renewal, okay you say the ฿800k is now sat in your Thai bank account, when is your next 12 month retirement extension due??

You have the visa why worry??

The other thing is we don't know what office the agent may have used for your extensions,could be a stamp from Nahkorn nowhere.

It is border run costs and the "change" fee 2000 THB and the insecurity of not knowing if Immigration will check if you complied to the rules for your current extension, weighted against the use of the agent just for one more time . . . . I would continue using the agent for the next extension, however this time you do it fully legally with your own 800,000 THB in the bank account. The agent fee will be cheaper because you now use your own funds. After being issued the extension, keep the 800K in your account for three more months as required, and never let it go lower than 400,000 during the rest of the year. Or better, don't touch the 800,000 THB at all and keep transferring the required minimum of 65,000 THB month for month. Then when time is up for the third extension, you can do it all on your own without having to worry - and you are free to use the 12-months transfer method, and withdraw the 800,000 THb and spend 'em

Your easiest solution is to leave Thailand at the end of your current extension and re-enter then apply for a new Non-O with your 800k then the extension while ensuring you have the 12 monthly 65k transfers for your second extension

Just relax and keep your visa. It’s perfectly fine. No need to soil yourself

It's 65,000 per month, 64,000 will not be accepted.

I would leave the country when your extension of stay finishes and come back in and start again fresh

I've just renewed my retirement visa in Samut Prakan last week and I had the bank print out a years statement and update my book with a letter from the bank to state that I am who I am and that it's my account or something like that, the IMO checked every page of the statement ticking under every page to except the financial requirements.

I would suggest leave the country without a re entry permit...so when u come back thailand it will be visa exempt as your old visa will be void.... since u already have a bank acct with 800k visit immigration near you to get a 90days nonO from there u do the 1yr extension with less than 30days on the nonO with the same untouch 800k

It's hard to tell from what you have said. Keep away from agents if you want to sort it out. But if you didn't have 800k baht in the bank on the day your 12 month extension of stay (its not a visa) was granted then you are not going to be able to comply with the requirements for your current extension of stay. For me you have 2 options, continue to use an agent or close to the expiry of your current extension of stay leave Thailand, apply for a new 90 day Non-O visa, return to Thailand, and when you have 30 days or less left on your 90 days apply for a 12 month extension of stay. Forget about the 65k baht option until you are looking for your 2nd extension of stay at which point you will need to have a minimum of 12 months of 65k baht transfers from overseas before applying

Be careful. Some IO will check your bank book to see if you met the criteria for the year prior. My advice to break your agent contract, get a new bank account and start to build up your 65k a month income or your 0thb. Good luck Mon Ami. ⚓

Looks like you have your finance in order now. Just ensure the 800k is there 4 months before your renewal visa date and 3 months after. Maintain a minimum of 400k outside this timeframe.

Alternatively, just always leave 800k minimum in the account.
