What are the requirements for maintaining the 800,000 baht deposit for a Thai retirement visa?

LTR 10 year Visa, no money down, only proof of income!

First year 800,000 2 months before. Next years 800,000 3 months before and after applying, during the year not less than 400,000.

I keep the 800+ in one bank and use a 2nd bank for daily living expenses. Easy for immigration not to have to muddle through deposits and withdrawals makes them happy

Up to 400k… but has to be replaced and seasoned 2 months before expansion

Has anyone feel that Bangkok Bank is diminishing the number of branches?

I personally do this: the simple solution is to deposit B900k and then tap into it for daily needs. You've given yourself a cushion as your balance fluctuates. And as you dip toward B820k, top off the tank with another deposit. This is far easier than dealing with the B65k monthly transfers that might develop problems.

For ongoing retirement extensions, your account must be at 800,000 for 2 full months before you apply for your extension, and remain at 800,000 for 3 full months after you receive your extension.

The bank account can never drop below 400,000.

That means it must be at 800,000 for at least 5 months every year and can never drop below 400,000 for 7 months.

If the balance drops below these amounts even for 1 day, you will not qualify for your extension next year.

Most people just leave the 800,000 in the account all year so they don't have to try to remember when to bring it back up to 800,000 and risk losing their extension.

It can never go below 400,000 and you have to have 800,000 in the bank about 3 months before and about the same after
