Is a yearly bank statement sufficient for the retirement visa extension in Chiang Mai, or is proof of funds required?

I think

Marcus...play it safe.

Keep the 800,000 Thb in your bank account three months after approval of extension.

You will be asked to provide a full year bank letter and bankbook at next year extension showing account balanced each month.

If you have not met the requirement...be prepared for possible denial of extension.

Most immigration offices do not require you to show back up 3 months after you get your yearly extension and show your updated bank book to prove the 800K baht is still in your account. The one's that do require you to show n updated bank book give you a piece of paper with the date on it you show back up.

AFAIK, Chiang Mai follows what

@Bo***

said, they will check the next time you get a new extension to make sure you kept the 800K baht in the account for 3 months & that the balance never went below 400K baht the rest of the year.

These are the rules, it will have consequences when you do not follow up as promised,

To be sure...ASK CHIANG MAI IMMIGRATION.

Also note that the bank balance can NEVER be below 400,000.
