Hi Guys,
I arrived in Thailand 20th Jan 2020 and have retirement visa applied for after arriving here, it is due for renewal/extension in April. I read conflicting requirements with regard to banking requirements. As I understand it I am required to have a minimum of 400,000bht in my bank account for the entire period and receive a minimum of 65,000bht transferred from an OS account each month. as long as the combined amount exceeds 800,000bht. I understand I need provide this information to Immigration along with my application for extension and i am with BB so no issues in getting the information.
Is this correct or do I need to boost my account to 800,000bht for the 2 months prior to my extension. Appreciate your assistance.
Richard.

Comments from other users confirm that he needs to maintain these balances and provide specific documentation during the renewal process.
