When calculating the time that your 800k needs to be in your account before and after a retirement extension renewal - is it calculated in full calendar months or from the date of your extension? I understand it cannot go below 400k  at any stage .

Thank you .

Answer summary

The 800k baht requirement for retirement extension renewals must be met with funds in your account 2 months prior to your application date, not based on the renewal date itself. For example, if you apply on September 20th, the 800k must be in your account by July 20th. However, there may be inconsistencies with bank policies, so it's advisable to maintain the funds beyond the minimum required.

I would say that Stuart is correct

However

Banks are making up rules so what we knew yesterday might be ancient history today

My advice is this…put it in there and act like it doesn’t exist

It needs to be in your account 2 months prior to applying. So if you apply say 20 days early on the 20th September then the funds must be in the account by 20th July. The fact that your extension is due 10th of October is irrelevant. It’s 2 months prior to applying.
