What Happens to Bank Balance Requirements for Non-Imm Retirement or Marriage When Leaving Thailand Before 90-Day Report?

Now for the 400K baht banked money method for extensions based on marriage the seasoning requirement is 2 months before you apply for the extension and that's it

BUT

With that being said SOME immigration offices (Chaengwattana :() also tell you to leave the 400K baht in the account and update your bank book on the date you go back from the "30 day under consideration" stamp you get when you go get the year inked in.

That is NOT an official rule and when I argued with the officer she did back down and say we just want to see that they didn't take ALL the money out the next day (meaning you are totally free to use the money to live on).. Then she got cranky and said why do you care you don't even get a marriage extension :O :P

Based on the posting it appears the question relates to the requirement to report back to Immigration 90 days after getting a retirement/marriage extension - first, or a marriage extensions, there is no requirement to report back with your bank book as there is not requirement to keep the 400k in the account. In the case of a retirement extension using 800k most Immigration Offices do not require you to report back in 90 days, but some do [not to be confused with 90 day address reporting, which is something else entirely]. One of those requiring the report for retirement extensions using 800k baht in the bank is Chonburi (Pattaya). The reference to multi-entry is apparently to using a multiple Re-Entry Permit to keep the extension valid. If it is Pattaya Immigration, if you are not in Thailand on the reporting date they give you to show your bank book (90 days from date of extension), there is no problem. Just take your bank book in upon your return -- all they are interested in is that your bank book shows you kept the 800k on deposit for the full 90 days after getting the extension as now required by Immigration rules.

The "show your bank book 3 months after you get a retirement extension using banked money method" has NOTHING at all to do with your 90 day reporting.. I don't know how people posting on the inter-web managed to mix those two things up. :/

IF you get the paper from the immigration office when you get your yearly extension based on retirement using banked money you go back on that date and show them your bank book. IF you didn't get that paper when you got your extension you don't. It's that simple.

You only show that 800K baht is in your account 3 months after on yearly extensions based on retirement.

AND you only do that at immigration offices that give you a paper stating when you go back. Like this paper

First of all did you get a letter telling you to bring your bank book in ,in 90 days because a 90 day report has nothing to do with money in the bank and it resets when you return

If you have a one year multiple entry visa based on marriage, you MUST leave the country every 90 days, and no 90 day reports are filed. A one year multiple entry visa based on marriage does not have any requirements to keep money in Thailand, or to maintain a minimum balance.

You will have to show at your next reporting or when you get another extension. I also leave the country a lot and never have to do a 90 day report.

Normally bank account do not disappear if you leave the country, if you plan to come into Thailand and you visit your bank, the money is still there in the account.

What do you mean by "multiple entry"? Is this a multiple entry visa, or a multiple entry re-entry permit?

Left the country permanently?

What kind of 90 day reports where you have to show money, are you talking about?

What? You took the money out of your Thai bank account?
