Hi, I’m on a Non-O visa. I usually keep 400k in my bank account throughout the year and use the surplus amount for my expenses. This year, I received a 1-month extension about 10 days ago, and I need to go again on December 1st for the 11-month extension.
The thing is, I want to withdraw around 50k, which will reduce the balance below 400k. Will this cause any problem when I go for my 11-month extension?
As far as I know, immigration asks for all documents during the 1-month extension, but for the 11-month extension, we only need to bring the passport. I just need some proper guidance on this issue. Thank you.

I just checked — there’s no additional stamp. But I’ll keep the money as it is. Another question: can I go to immigration before the due date, or do I have to go exactly on the date mentioned in the passport?
You're not on a non-O visa. You're not on any visa. You're on an extension of stay. I'm guessing that's based on marriage.
Some immigration offices have even started stamping in your passport that your account must remain at 400,000 baht until you go back in and receive your full stamp.
You can do it, but you need to know there's a risk involved. We always tell people not to touch the month until they have the full 1-year extension.
Most likely you'd only get a warning for this year if they decided to check, but there's always a small chance of worse outcome.
