can i get the difference of funds from a retirement visa ''800TBH '' to a marriage visa ''400TBH''
Answer summary
The retirement visa in Thailand requires proof of 800,000 baht in a bank account for a period of two months before the application and three months after, before dropping to 400,000 baht for the next seven months. In contrast, the marriage visa requires only 400,000 baht for a similar duration prior to application, and this amount can be spent once the visa is approved, with a ten-month period before needing to restore it to the minimum requirement.

Retirement extension your 800k needs to be in your bank for 2 months before and 3 months after then down to 400k for 7 months then back up to 800k 2 months before your next extension a extension based on marriage only requires 400k for 2 months before after it’s approved you can spend it all until 10 months later
