Seasoning money question: If I transferred 800,000 thb into my Thai bank account on 18th July 2025, when is the earliest date that I can go to immigration for my retirement extension? I assume 18th September but want to be sure. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for your retirement extension on September 18, 2025, as it requires two full calendar months from the deposit date of July 18, 2025. Some banks like Bangkok Bank may have additional requirements, like freezing the funds for four months from the issuance of the bank letter.

I think 2 months or 60 days have to past so July had 31 days and even August 31 days but it you better ask immigration because all the time it changes

That's correct. It has to be 2 full calendar months (not 60 days). So money deposited on July 18th would be usable for an extension on September 18th.

And if you have Bangkok Bank, they will also make you sign a form that freezes the money in your account for 4 months from the date they issue your bank letter because the money has not been in your account for 4 months. Other banks do not have this.
