ORIGINAL POSTER

I need to do a 90 check in after obtaining my Retirement Visa extension (Jomtien) to verify that 800,000 baht remain in the bank account. The review date is the 21 of May which is a Saturday. Is there a grace period that you can do this before hand like the case with the 90 day report (7 days previous)  or must it be at minimum 90 days? Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster is inquiring about the timing for a 90-day check after obtaining a Retirement Visa extension, specifically whether they can perform the check before the set review date of May 21, which is a Saturday. They ask if there is a grace period akin to the 90-day report's 7-day advance allowance, or if they must strictly wait for the 90 days to pass. One comment suggests it is advisable to go earlier rather than later, indicating that checking on May 23 could still be acceptable since the funds would have already been in the account for over three months.

I'd go a day early rather than two days late

BUT

you'd probably be okay going on the 23rd as well seeing as the funds would have been in the account OVER the 3 month threshold 🙂

I did not get this paper work but was told to come back in 90 days, which is one day before my 90 day report is due.

@Jon *******

then go back either friday or monday like I said.

BUT

they are pretty good about giving you that paper at Jomtien when you go back to get the passport the day after you applied for the extension

I would think they have a lot of discretion and the immigration officer that gave me back the passport when I went to pick up back up simply overlooked the paper work. Think I will go back on the Friday before.

Jomtien is one of the only immigration offices that require you to return after 3 months and show you still have the 800K baht in the bank (as per the requirements for using banked money method). All the other offices check NEXT year when you get your new extension that you met this requirement

This is what they give you when you get your extension at Jomtien

thanks just wondering.

Phuket did not require, tbh they were pretty easy to deal with other than the usual 50 copies of everything!
