I am due to renew my retirement extension and have a question concerning bank funds please bear with me whilst I try to explain:Being as the pound has gone down the toilet my pension is shy of the 800.000.00 baht - I deposited funds to cover it on 3rd of May and my extension is up on the 2nd of August - As the pound continues to drop I would like to renew my extension now - my question is will the three month rule on cash in the bank trip me up ? 5th May until today is 77 days !
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about the renewal of their retirement visa extension and whether their bank funds would meet the 3-month seasoning requirement. Due to a depreciation in the British Pound, their pension funds fell below the required 800,000 baht. They deposited additional funds on May 3, with the extension set to expire on August 2, leading to concerns that the 90-day rule might affect their application. Several commenters noted that if this isn't their first extension, the funds need to be seasoned for three months from the new application date. They also discussed potential alternatives like submitting a letter from the British Consulate confirming the user's income, which may bypass the bank seasoning requirement. The conversation reflects the complexities of visa rules, particularly regarding bank funds, currency fluctuations, and immigration office variances.
