I will be doing my first My NON-Immigrant O Visa Renewal. It expires on July 29, 2026. How long does the 800,000 baht need to be untouched in my bank account before July 29, 2026?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello Group,

Quick question please. I am here on a 90 day Non O visa, have just opened a bank account etc. am I correct that when I apply to extend my visa to 12 months, I simply go to immigration before expiration date and apply to extend it. Clearly I need all of my documents, proof of bank account and 800,000 etc to complete that process ? I had read in one post that you needed to go there and apply 1 month before hand.

Many thanks

Proof of income ?

My income comes from a goverment retirement and is well over the minimum requirements.

If there is proof of income, can I skip the 800.000 B rule ? Or should it be deposited for 12 months ?

So who provides this paperwork ?The bank? The embassy on proof of bank?

Many countries don't deliver this paperwork.

Does anyone know if Belgium provides a proove of income to get a retirement visa.

I have a one year extension as retiree thru 800000 baths system. I kept this amount for 3 months after extension and am now over 400000.

I will renew my visa when I am in France thru the the Thai embassy in Paris.

My question is: should I go back to 800000 2 months prior the current extension deadline or can I keep only 400000 as I will renew from abroad ?

Hope it is clear

Thks in advance

Marc

When you apply for an O visa inside Thailand to eventually get the 12 month extension (based on retirement), at what point does the 800k bht need to go into your bank account?

Thanks 👍
