How long after renewing my retirement visa based on 800,000 THB can I access my funds?

@Andrew *******

or switch to the 65k monthly transfer method after year 1

@Malcolm ****

good question because I want to change banks aswell worried about breaking the visa agreement

@Malcolm ****

for retirement extension you need to wait until at least 3 months after your extension, because the requirement during those 3 months is that your account remains at 800,000.

Then after that point, when the requirement is just that you must have 400,000 in your account, you can transfer 400,000 to your new account. Give it a few days to settle, and then transfer the other 400,000 into it. This is so you can show you had at least 400,000 fully settled into an account at all times.

Next year for your extension you will need to get the statements and bank letters for BOTH accounts. But after that you can just do everything with the new account in following years.

over 10 years that 400k invested for 7 months of the year would double. But it’s better to just leave it and let the bank use it.

@Brandon ***********

what will happen if it goes below 800k within the 3 months after the extension (but not below 400), and is back to 800k 3 months before renewal?
