TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a retirement visa extension in Thailand, you must have 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account in your name for at least 2 months prior to application. After the extension is granted, you are required to maintain at least 400,000 THB in the account for the rest of the year.

The rules for the banked money method for a retirement extension state you need to have the 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for your extension, you need to keep the 800K in the account for 3 months after the extension is granted and then the balance can't go below 400K for the rest of the year.

it used to be before the rules changed back on Dec 21, 2018 <- right when the consulates stopped issuing the income affidavit for their citizens here.

this is what the REAL rules are <- meaning no matter what you're told by an immigration officer this is the actual wording of the police order concerning extensions
