Morning everyone, I arrived on 2nd June 2025 on a non-o visa, I got my extension in September 2025, I have the lump sum on deposit in a Thai bank since 4th June2025, question is when can I touch the lump sum, am I right in thinking it’s 5 months after I arrived, do they take a different date. Thanks in advance guys.
TLDR : Answer Summary
You can access a portion of your lump sum on deposit in a Thai bank three months after your visa extension was granted, allowing you to drop to 400,000 baht. However, you must maintain at least 800,000 baht in your account for the three full months following the extension and ensure it is back up to that amount two months before your next extension application, unless you opt for monthly transfers.
