Hi ya, I'm due to renew my retirement visa on the 27th September and believe I have to have the 800k in my bank account for 3 mths prior to renewing. Well silly me, 3 days into the 3 mth grace period, withdrew 5000THB too much forgetting I'd made an online grocery order. I quickly deposited it back in within 3 hrs. Now I'm hoping immigration won't stop my visa renewal even though it went under the 800k for a few hours, not days. Does anyone know my chances of being able to renew my visa as I seriously do not want to start the whole process over again? Btw this is my 4th renewal and only mistake 🙃🙄. Fingers xed I get someone good at immigration on my renewal day 🤞😊
TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster worries about being a few THB short of the required 800k in their bank account for their retirement visa renewal due on September 27, as they had a temporary withdrawal. Responses clarify that the funds must be maintained at 800k for a minimum of two months prior to applying for the extension, while extra detail is provided about potential immigration checks on bank accounts and the importance of meeting financial criteria for future extensions.
