Following scenario:
one applies for a one year extension of stay (retirement/800K on bankbook).
The 800k have to stay in the bank for 3 months before you are allowed to go under 800K.
Question:
When do these 3 months exactly start/end?
Example:
Applied for and got the extension on November 2. The extension starts on November 15.
When in February can one go under 800K?
TLDR : Answer Summary
When you apply for a one-year extension of stay under the retirement category in Thailand, the requirement mandates that 800,000 baht must remain in your bank account for three months post-application. Specifically, if your extension starts on November 15, the three-month period would end on February 15. Yet, it is advisable to wait a little longer before withdrawing any funds, such as a week after the end date, to avoid any potential issues. Additionally, it's important to remember that the balance must not drop below 400,000 baht for the remainder of the year.
