We entered Thailand on a non-O retirement visa. We will deposit the 800k in the bank so we are prepared for the 90 day meeting where we can extend it for a year. However, we will be receiving the 6500 monthly international transfer starting right away so we’d like to switch to that for our second year. How long do we need to keep the 800k in the bank this first year?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To switch from the 800k THB bank deposit method to monthly income for your second year on a non-O retirement visa in Thailand, you need to maintain the 800k THB in your bank account for at least 2 months prior to your year extension application. Additionally, the funds must remain in the account for 3 months after your non-O stamp expires, and you need to keep a minimum of 400k THB in the bank for the remainder of the year. Furthermore, for the next extension, you must show evidence of receiving 65k THB monthly transfers over the previous 12 months.
