UPDATE on the banked money "extended seasoning" process for extensions based on 'retirement' which took effect yesterday.
It appears all they are doing is issuing you a new yearly extension and cautioning you that you must keep the 800K baht in the account for 3 months after the extension is granted AND also telling you the account can't go below 400K baht for the rest of the year
BUT
They are doing nothing as far as making you come back in 3 months to show the balance. I believe it will all be checked the FOLLOWING year when you apply for a new extension and if you don't meet it you'll be denied.
OR at least that's the way it appears from the one report of a yearly extension using banked money at Chaengwattana yesterday.
