What are the rules for maintaining 800k Baht in a Thai bank account for a Non-O visa extension?

Where are you located Lay?

:))))

Is it true the money ($800h THB) MUST be VERIFIABLY transferred from Outsude Thailand ?

If you spend that money, no extension and go home.

Should never drop below 400 k but you can start 65k+ in foreign transfers 12 in a row get your yearly extension and you can spend it all

well, if you enter Thailand with a tourist visa and want to apply for the "change of visa type" to a 90-days Non-imm-O Retirement visa on Immigration, you will need a minimum of 800,000.- THB in a Thai bank account in your sole name on the day of your application. The money must just sit there, and you must show a proof that it came from abroad, and seasoning is not required at this point. You will then receive the 90-days Non-Imm-O visa (it will15 days "under consideration" first). Now after 60 days have passed, or from up 30 days before the 90 days will expire, and the money has seasoned in the account for two months, you will need the "bank letter of guarantee" (rab roong thanakan) confirming the seasoning period. You must then apply for the "1-year Extension of Stay Permit". After having issued the extension, a minimum of 800K must remain in the account for three months, some Immigrations will ask you to come back after three months showing an updated bankbook. For the rest of the year the funds should never fall below 400,000.- THB. And two months before you need to apply for the next "1-year Extension of Stay", the funds must again be over 800,000.- THB . . . . . . . . .NOTE: this is NOT valid for the Immigration Pattaya, because THEY require a two months seasoning not only for the application to the "extension", but already for the "change" from the tourist visa to the 90-days Non-Imm-O visa

Just keep in mind something that others haven't mentioned when they've said you gotta get your account up for your 2nd 1 year extension, if you deposit 65k a month for the full 12 months of your first extension, you don't need to take your account up to the 800k baht to apply for this 2nd extension

You've your terminology mixed up. You apply for a 3 month (90 day) visa then you apply for a 12 month extension. The 800k normally needs to be transferred into your bank account from overseas but generally doesn't need to be there for any time before you apply, unless you're in Pattaya who insist on it being in your account for 2 months before you apply. Once you get that visa leave the 800k alone as you need it in the account for 2 months before you apply for the 12 months extension, then once you obtained the extension it must remain in your account for 3 months at which point it can drop to 400k for the rest of the year, bringing it back up to 800k again 2 months before you want to apply for the next extension

Great ldear leaving 800 k in a Thai bank account

What sort of Non O visa are we talking here? Is it retirement visa? Please clarify, thank you

The. You don’t get an extension

🫨

What do you want to buy for 700k baht???

Here are the rules:

800k 2 mths before extension application

800k 3 mths after approval

Never below 400k

800k 2 mths before next extension

No exception

You initially apply for a Non O visa in Thailand. That’s good for 3 months and as it’s nearing the end you apply for a year extension.

The rule for using banked money is it has to be in the account for 2 months before applying and stay in for 3 months after. For the rest of the year it can’t go below 400k and would need to be back up to 800k two months before your next application.

If you go below the 400k then you simply won’t get the following year extension as you didn’t keep to the conditions.

You have the money 2 months before and 3 months after . You can only spend 400 of that and you have to top it back up to 800 2 months before your due to renew

Spend it no extension
