probably an easy question......

I have a retirement O visa with a separate 800K bank account.

visa valid till june 28th, renewed already on june 15th.

800K needs to stay 3 months in the account, after that I can reduce it to 400K for 6 months, then back to 800K.....

when does this start ?

september 15th or september 28th ?

TIA

This is the official text, all you have to do now is to match the dates:

Filling date is the date that a person walks into Immigration and hand over the application to the officer.

Permission granted date is the date the Immigration Officer stamps the new 1 year Extension of Stay in the passport.

Example in picture:

permission granted on 1 Jun 2017

Person is allowed to stay and has to apply for a new extension of stay before 27 Aug 2018

Money has to stay in the bank for at least 3 months after 1 Jun so can be reduced to 400.000 thb after 1 Sep.

To be safe I’d go with the later date of the 28th. I think “filing date” and “permission granted date” both could be subject to interpretation by your local immigration office. Of course, you could just ask them directly.
