Hi everyone. I am here on a Guardian visa. 

I renewed this visa in November for 1 year. 

I need to know how much money I should keep in my bank account ONCE I have obtained my visa renewal and for how long. 

I get conflicting info from various sources.

Thanks for your help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarification on the financial requirements for maintaining a Guardian visa in Thailand after its renewal. The comments indicate that a minimum of 500,000 baht must be kept in the bank account. For the first yearly extension, the funds only need to be held for 30 days prior to applying. For subsequent extensions, the funds must be retained for 3 months before applying. However, the user is unsure how long they need to keep this amount after the renewal.

. My question relates to After the visa extension. Should I keep the money for a month or 3 month?

nope, there is no requirement to keep it in the bank for any length of time

BUT

With that being said, that visa extension has a 30 day "under consideration" period after you apply before you go back and get the year extension inked in. MANY immigration offices are asking people to keep the funds in the account until AFTER they issue the extension (so until you go back to get the year inked in)

the financial requirements for a yearly extension of stay based on supporting a foreign child here is 500K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 3 months before you apply for your next yearly extension. For the FIRST yearly extension the money needs to be in the account only for 30 days but every year after that it needs to be in the account for 3 months before you apply for the extension.

And by "guardian visa" you mean you are on a yearly extension based on supporting a foreign born child here?
