Hi all,

With a Non O extension based on retirement does the 800k have to be in the bank for 2 or 3 months before ?

Also is that timed from your current expiry date or when you apply?

Given you can apply before expiry date . Thanks in advance .

I think you need to be showing 800k for 2 months before

Your funds have to be in your Thai bank account for 2 months minimum as of your application date.

Here is the general information for a 1-year extension based on retirement, but you need to go to your local immigration office to get the latest handout of requirements.

just to clarify, I have the 12 mth Non O visa now and I can apply for an extension up to 28 December . My immi office allows for an application 90 day days before expiry. So does my 800k have to be seasoned 2 months before 28 December or 2 months before I apply? Reason i ask is because I accidentally dipped a few hundred bht below 800k a couple of weeks back for a day

note also it's 2 full calendar months, not 60 days so the date you went back up to 800k is important

because your balance dropped below 800k recently then you need to apply no earlier than 2 months after the date it returned to 800k.

, 2 months before the day you apply for the next extension. Not 28th Dec.
