I understand you need to maintain about 800,000 baht in an account to renew/keep the retirement Non O visa (or at least have it in there for 6 months before renewal) but I’ve heard you can withdraw funds momentarily and go below the 800,000 is this true? And I send money into my account regularly from Canada but is it possible to send it the other way? I mean back to Canada, with a banking app
TLDR : Answer Summary
To maintain the retirement Non O visa in Thailand, you need to keep a minimum of 800,000 baht in your bank account for at least 2 months before applying for each year's extension. After receiving the extension, you must keep the amount above 400,000 baht for an additional 3 months. It is also possible to transfer money from Thailand back to Canada using banking apps, as long as the necessary conditions for your visa are met.
