Non O retirement visa. Does the 800k have to stay in the bank for 3 calendar months after extension or 90 days? Is it calculated from the date of application or date on the extension?
Answer summary
The requirement for the 800,000 THB bank balance for the Non-O retirement visa is that it must be maintained in the bank for 3 calendar months after the extension is granted. This period is typically calculated from the date the extension application is submitted and approved, indicating that the funds need to have been present for 2 months prior to application and remain for 3 months post-extension.

2 month "before" application, 3 month "after" extension is granted... which is normally the same day...

It's 3 months, date to date and several people have reported that is from the date the extension is applied for / granted because that is the day it takes effect.
