How long should the 800k be seasoned before applying for a retirement visa extension in Thailand?
Good day everyone, I've already acquired a Non O in my home country and coming to Thailand in June 26. I'm lucky to have a Bangkok Bank account already but still need to fund it with 800k. How long does the 800k need to be seasoned before you can apply for the year extension?

Most comments indicate that while the law states a minimum of 2 months, some areas like Jomtien may require 3 months of bank statements. Additional comments highlight variations depending on the province and specific immigration office policies.

phang nga ask for 3 months statements to get non o retirement extended. i keep my £800k in government savings bank , separate to my other account. i just take the interest out once a year.

Julian Lewis not much interest anyway, as Thailand bank offers like 0.85% annually.

OPJulian Lewis Thanks, If I may ask, how much interest do you earn at the government savings bank?
Julian *******
Jaco Van de Merwe it will be about 4000 baht or so over the year. very low but it is tax free
Julian *******
no. it’s a tax free account at a set interest rate. it’s tax free. go to gsb and speak to them.

Julian Lewis that 4000 has been tax deducted already, the bank deduct 15%

Graham Seal I heard one month for the first renewal in one province. And I heard one full year in another province... And yes there is the law.

Jean Pacquement one year for the first 1 year EoS? Thats not possible, how can one stay with a 90 day non-immi O retirement Visa and accomplish 12 months of bank deposit before applying for the first 1 year extension of stay?
Graham ******
Jean Pacquement one year is barstool (or agent) talk, no province requires that
Michael *******
Funds deposited for 2 months when you apply for the 1 year retirement visa…
Graham ******
Michael Clark It is not a visa (that was used to enter Thailand), it is an Extension of Stay. Retirement visas obtained inside of Thailand do not require seasoned funds (except in Jomtien).
