I have had a retirement visa for about 10 years.

I always had 800,000bt in a Thai Bank for 3 months before renewal but now I hear it's got to be in for 3 months after as well, yet some say you have to have 400,000bt in for 3 months after. Does anyone know for sure.

I go to Jomtien immigration office
Answer summary
The current requirements for maintaining a retirement visa in Thailand stipulate that you must have 800,000 Thai Baht in a bank for at least 2 months before applying for an extension and for 3 months after the application date. Additionally, for the remainder of the year, the balance should not fall below 400,000 Baht.

You have an Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age. The new requirement is: at least 2 months before the application date till at least 3 months after application date and the rest of the year not less than 400.000 Thb. If you apply in Jomtien, you get a copy of these new rules and you sign that you understand and must come back after 90 days to show the bank balance is still 800.000 Thb. See example:

For an extension (>50 using banked money) it is 800k for 2 months prior and 3 months after, and not less than 400k for the remainder of the year.
