Hi, I came to Thailand on 31st of January. My query is, I will be about 4 days short of having the 800,000 bht in the bank for a month before I have to do my first report. I will be using Hua Hin immigration, are they lenient? Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about meeting the 800,000 THB financial requirement for their Non-O Visa in Thailand, specifically regarding the timing for their first report. Various comments clarify that financial requirements pertain more to long-term extensions than to the 90-day report, which simply confirms the individual has not left the country. It is emphasized that funds must be in the bank for a minimum of two months prior to applying for a one-year extension, and that the user should ensure they meet all criteria well in advance of their visa deadlines.

They don't even consider shortage of one day!

Maybe do your research on the government site and don't rely on Facebook bullshit.

It would be helpful to mention what visa you arrived in Thailand on? You mentioned your first report, are you eluding to the 90 day report? In future just try and give as much detail as possible that way you will get some sensible answers to your questions.

You can go 2 weeks early or 1 week late for the reporting. Go the day you have had the cash in for one month

If you are on a 90 day Non-O visa you don't do a 90 day report until 90 days after you get the 12 month extension, normally they'll put a slip of paper into your passport with that date.

But I'm assuming you want a 12 month extension of stay and for that the 800k baht must be in your Thai bank account for 2 full calendar months before you apply for the extension. That means your extension will most likely be refused. The simplest way forward is to visit a nearby country, apply for a new 90 day visa using the evisa system and remain there until it is issued. Return to Thailand and apply for a 12 month extension when you have 30 days or less left on your 90 day visa and be happy you already have the money in the bank

First time apply, 2months in Thai bank,second time 3months in thai bank, and you need to apply 4 weeks before the end of the o-visa ends to give you time to get it all together

No

Since when is it necessary to have the money ONE month in the bank?

Isn’t it 3 (resp 2) months?

What Visa are you on or, more likely if you are doing a 90 day report, Extension of Stay based on what? There is no financial requirement for 90 day reporting and no 90 day reporting if you are on a Non-O Visa so which is it?

I am on a " Non immigration O " my goal is to remain in Thailand

@Lee ********
If you are on a Non-O Visa you are on a 90 day stamp so do not do 90 day reporting so your finances are too late for your 12 month Extension of Stay application. You will be denied the extension, will be required to leave Thailand then re-enter and use your banked money to apply for a new Non-O Visa (90 day stamp).

@Graham *****
he needs to give us more detail of what visa or visa-exempt he actually is on and what he is planning to do . .or this becomes a train wreck of a thread

I don't understand your question. If you entered visa-exempt and want to apply for the "change of visa type" to a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa, all you need to prove is that the 800,000 THB are sitting in your Thai bank account. Only for the follow up application to the "1-year Extension of Stay Permit", you need proof that the money has seasoned for two months. . . . you need to do the 90-days report 90 days from the day of your entry. You can do it from up to 15 days before the due date, and up to 7 days after due date

Report due approx 31st April......90 days from when entered country due report

@Jim **********
31st april?
Jim ***********
@Terrence ************
said approx. Entered 31st January add on 90 days til report due
Terrence *************
@Jim **********
isn,t there only 30 days april
Marcus **********
@Terrence ************
also only 28 days in Feb.

OP needs to check with the IO he uses (as it may vary)if it's 3 calender months or 90 days for the money to be seasoned. (Tbh I've only seen 90 days in 'presence' terms)

It's a small difference but may be vital.

Maybe IO will let him make up his own calender that has 31 days in April 😮

But as others have said train wreck of a question.

Jim ***********
@Terrence ************
90 days approx. You can do 90 day report 2 weeks early 1 week late so 90 days approx is brilliant advice. Read again but in reality you haven't a clue regarding visas. Can count days in month bust have took shoes and socks off count to 31. Congratulations 🎊 but whg u in visa site when in reality you haven't a clue ? Don't tell me ur stupid I can see that already. Bye

Hua Hin immigration are helpful I've just renewed my visa last week . The 800k is supposed be in account 3 months after last year renewal, I moved mine 3 days after renewal and changed to 65k method. Visa renewed last week no issues regarding move the 800k early
Jim ***********
Report is just to say u haven't left country. 800k doesn't affect that. The 800k is a long term visa requirement.
