How long must I wait before transferring my 65k deposit to my daily use account for my retirement visa in Thailand?

What a near train wreck of a post.

As Ellie correctly spotted the actual question in the post is;

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 “𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁)

There is no time limit, you can pull the 65k out as soon as it credits to your account.

The rule is SHOW that a minimum of 65k was transferred in from abroad, each month, every month for the previous 12 months before you apply for a yearly extension based on retirement.

There is nothing in the rule that says how long you have to keep the 65k in the account.

This isn't gonna turn into a post about how to move money here, how to get the yearly statement to show the international funds transfers OR how to see if your transfers coded at your bank as international.

I wish good luck to the O/P (y) thanx one and all for the helpful comments 🙂

I have been extending my visa via the monthly income system for years now. My Thai bank print off the monthly income on individual sheets for each month and I collect them from the bank having first arranged it with the bank, then take them with me when I visit the office for my extension

please read the question in the original post carefully, members. This post is NOT about how to make transition from banked money method to monthly transfer method for retirement extensions.

You need 12 full months of 65k international transfers into your account prior to applying for your next extension. You also need to honour the terms of your previous extension by keeping your balance above 800k baht for 3 months and not letting it drop below 400k baht for the rest of the year

For monthly transfer method, 65k baht can be used anytime once in your account as international transfer. There is no requirement for keep specific balance in your Thai bank account for monthly income method

I believe you only need to show/prove the 12 monthly deposits and can remove/spend/move that money anytime.

You need 12 consecutive months of 65k deposits and a minimum of 400k still in your Thai account at the time of application to comply with the requirements of your current extension

Try to keep it Simple...

Suggest you have a separate Thai bank account in your name only for the receipt of the 65,000 Thai baht each month. Transferred into Thailand EACH month by international transfer.

At the end of the 12 months print out proof of the international coded deposits to show Thai Immigration Officers when you Apply for your One year extension of stay as retired.
