How long does the ฿800K need to be in the bank before renewing a retirement extension in Thailand?
Hi all. Getting conflicting information about how long the ฿800K needs to be in the bank before renewing retirement extension. Some say 3 months, some say 2. Will be apply for renewal in Phetchaburi province. Thanks. Would go and ask but I’m in another province for a bit. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Answer summary
The requirement for how long ฿800K must be in the bank before renewing a retirement extension varies, with the official guideline stating it needs to be in the account for at least 2 months prior to application. Some sources mention that certain immigration offices may prefer it to be there for 3 months. For applicants in Phetchaburi, it is emphasized that 2 months is sufficient, but additional documentation such as a hand-drawn map of one's residence and possible home visits may also be required.

if you are worried about $20,000 is being gone for an extra month, this is the type of situation that the Thai government wants you not to come to their country

Phetchaburi immigration will need your 800,000 baht seasoned for 2 months before you apply for your extension also they are getting a bit tougher they will also require a hand draw map to your house, plus they have just started doing home visits, even for retirement extensions. This is for Phetchaburi immigration.

Can you get someone to call there to get their specific list of requirements for your extension before you return? You really should be planning to their list.

Officially it's 2 months at the time you apply for your extension.
