My retirement visa was recently approved. For my extension of stay the next year I want to go the 65k monthly route. I have already started the 65k monthly transfers. How long do I need to maintain the initial 800k deposit in my account after my initially approved retirement visa?

Edit: My IO is in Jomtiem.

Hello, my non o visa is due for extension on 10 December 2024, under the 800k method. My plan next year is to use the 65k per month when I renew on 10 December 2025. So my question is, if I want to change method, when do I need to make the first 65k transfer please ? My plan is to commence 65k transfers in November 2024 so by the time I try for extension in December 10 2025, I will have 12/13 monthly transfers to show. Does this work? Another question is, I intend to withdraw 400k, 3 months after my 2024/5 extension, do I have to keep 400k until 2 months before December 2025 when I change methods ? Do I put the other 400k back in 2 months before, so that when I change methods in December 2025, I have 800k and 12 months receipts for the 65k method? A long post sorry, I couldn’t see this in previous posts. Thanks

Hi all, I am looking for advise.

I am a 51 y/o canadian on O-A visa which I need to renew, extend in December.

I understand that there are two ways to meet the financial requirements: either 65K deposited monthly in my thai bank account or 800K for at least 3 months prior and two months after.

Now, being 3 months prior the renewal, I could get the 800K in time, but how can I transition to the monthly transfer?

Do I need to start doing the transfer while the 800K is also covered? Do I need the 65K monthly fo the entire 12 previous months?

Does it mean that my best scenario would be 800K now until January while starting to transfer 65K / month now so next year I could transition ?

Thanks for your help.
