What are the latest requirements for obtaining a Non-O retirement visa in Chiang Mai?

I have plenty of time before my next extension and have been leaving 900k in the account hopefully don’t need to touch it .. not for a couple of years anyway , BUT was talking to a guy the other day who said he would continue to use the agent he always uses , to which I replied , you won’t get away with that now , to which he just laughed and said , “ no I’ve already been in contact and they told him no problem he’s is due in May ...., o well , ? but I was also told that my bank account must show movement throughout the year ie money going in and or out , not just stagnant ... I seem to recall this being mentioned before as well ... I’ve always done it the ‘ correct ‘ way ie not using an agent , and I suppose I’m glad in way these agents are being eliminated, but maybe they aren’t ? . Plus now me leaving 900k and trying to just forget about would not do any good if it needs to show it’s being used throughout the year ?

That is what I had remembered. Thanks so much! I'm assuming it does not make a difference whether it is a first extension of stay or a third the way that is worded. The visa company was saying 2 months only applies to the first extension.

The rules of banked money change on the 1 st March. Seeing your Extension of Stay is till 20 April you have to apply after March 1, this as the maximum time to apply is 45 days before the last permitted up to date. After 1 March it is minimum 800.000 Thb on a Thai bank on your name 2 months prior application date and 3 months after application date, after these 5 months not less than 400.000 Thb. As you could no find the Police order, here it is:

Tod Daniels, I have been using the affidavit from US Consulate in previous years to renew extension of stay. My renewal is due on April 20. This year I decided to do 800,000 in bank instead. The money will be seasoned for 2 months. Just paid a visit to Visa agency and was told it must be 3 months. Now I am left without enough time. Am I correct re two months? If so is there a police order to reference? This is Chiang Mai. Thank you.

I think there was a "lost in translation" between him and the immigration officer it's a minimum of 800K baht in the bank..

Remember the new rules take effect starting next Friday (March 1st). That's where you need to have the money in your account for 2 months BEFORE you apply and for 3 months AFTER you apply AND you can't have the balance drop below 400K baht for the rest of the year.

800,000, should do it, maybe they were taking the piss or just wanted to make sure your mate had a bit extra
