ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a yearly O retirement visa using the monthly 65,000 baht transfer method, it is essential to continue these monthly transfers regardless of your physical location outside Thailand. Community members emphasize that you must make 12 consecutive transfers of 65,000 baht as required for visa extension eligibility. Additionally, it's suggested to maintain 800,000 baht in your Thai bank account for at least a few months before and after applying for the extension, although some argue this can be flexible depending on your financial strategy.
