Hi Tod Daniels. Quick question: when we arrived in March we had more than THB 800,000 in the account. We dropped below that to about 750k for a week or so before I read something suggesting we have to keep it at that level (we had believed we needed that at the start to prove we have money to live on... naive π€¦πΌββοΈ)
We now have the funds back above 800k but will this cause a problem on the first 90 day reporting? Not sure what you have to present for Thai in Phuket.
Thanks in advance for your advice. π
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original question inquired about the implications of dropping below the THB 800,000 threshold for a retirement visa in Thailand prior to the first 90-day reporting. Contributors clarified that proof of funds is not required for 90-day reporting, but that the 800,000 baht fund must be maintained for an extension of stay. Experiences were shared about varying enforcement of the requirement, though generally, funds need to be maintained properly for the visa application process.
