Hi all. I have to renew my non-IMM O visa - my expiration date is March 11th. Is it 90 days before or literal 3 months before that the ฿800k has to be in the account when you renew?

Thank you so much in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew a non-Imm O visa, the funds of ฿800k must be in the account for two months prior to the application date and maintained for three months afterward. This applies to those under retirement status, regardless of regional differences in rule interpretation.

okay no matter what you're reading the actual seasoning rules from banked money method to get a yearly extension based on being over 50 (retirement) is

the 800K baht needs to be in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before the date you apply for the year extension

AFTER you get the extension granted the 800K baht need tos stay in the account for 3 months

THEN the balance can't go below 400K baht the rest of the year.

Those are the rules for the seasoning of banked money method for retirement. this is a copy from the police order that is in effect concerning a retirement extension

Hi Ellie. I’m non-imm O but I’m not based on marriage. I’m based on retirement. Does that change anything?

Thank you all so much. But I’m reading the info on Samut Prakan IMM website and although the Thai to English is a little awkward it clearly says 3 months before.

Samat Prakan follows the correct rule - 2 months before date of application and 3 months after. Also need over 400K ballance the rest if the year Actually I do t think I have heard of an office using a different rule for cash seasoning but I suppose ot could happen.

It’s 2 months before and 3 months after.

You have to season your funds TWO months (date to date month) before you submit your application for extension based on being over 50. And you need to keep your funds three month after your application.
