My retirement visa is due for renewal 4th August 2026. I want to renew as early as possible and have been told 45 days. That being 19th June. Does that now mean I will need to have the 800k balance 3 months before 19th June. I'm thinking it's a yes

A lot of people comment on here that the 800k in bank for a non o extension has to show as an international transfer .Why?

Good morning,

So i finally got my non-o retirement visa at Jomtien, based on 800k in the bank.

It says admitted on 10 november 2025 and valid until 7 february 2026.

They said I can apply for the one year extension after the 7th of january.

My last bankbook update is from the 28 october. This is an account i use only for the visa.

At what dates should i do bank moves and updates so the 800k appears correctly for the extension in January. I am afraid to screw it up...

Hope i am clear. Thanks

I have been doing the 800000 in the bank since I got here but am send over well over well over 800000 a year to live but not always 650000 in a month obviously watching the exchange rates and send more over when hi and topping up when need. My bank statement will show this. Can this be used as the 650000 per month as I herd they add all amounts together and divide by 12. But also herd they take monthly amount and go on the lowest amount sent. Can anyone give my best options to get my monthy income cover my visa requirements rather than the 8000000

- Non-O retirement Visa question about my BK Bank account.

What is the procedure for moving my BK Bank account used for my visa to a different province/district??

Edit to add: I want the 800k to be in a bank close to me and the new immigration office where I move to.

I have a question about the 800k in regards to retirement visa.

Since I am in Thailand, I never touched the 800k which i had in a fixed deposit with Bangkok Bank.

So far so good, never a problem. Now I want to move all my Bangkok Bank accounts to Siam Commercial Bank.

Is there anything I need to be aware of in regards to the 800k? I renewed my retirement visa on 31st of October 2023. It expires on 6th of November 2024.

Is there a time limit the 800k need to stay in the Bangkok Bank account given I renewed my visa on 31st of October? If yes, do I need a confirmation letter from Bangkok Bank that the money stayed in the account for the required period?

I'm in Chiang Mai with a retirement visa from Pattaya (agent supplied the 800k). Started in April '22. One renewal. My passport is being renewed now. New passport in a few weeks.

I'll stay in Thailand long term and want to switch to an actual retirement visa where I hold the 800k in my own account. Does anyone have experience with this process? I've gotten mixed info about it. Thank you.

Hi all,

With a Non O extension based on retirement does the 800k have to be in the bank for 2 or 3 months before ?

Also is that timed from your current expiry date or when you apply?

Given you can apply before expiry date . Thanks in advance .

Hi, and tia,

I have booked my flight to return to Bangkok on the 20th January 2023. I have previously had Non-Imm O having lived in Thailand over a period of years. Now I am returning after an absence of 20 months, not being in my own country of Australia, but being elswhere.

I do intend to apply for the Non-Imm O again having the 800K in the bank. Does it still need to be in the bank for 4 months before applying?

So, arriving on the 20th Jan. and receiving 45 days, then most likely doing a return flight to Hong and back before the end of March to receive another 45 days, my main question is; when is the best time to begin the application for the Non-Imm O, during my two 45 day visas or after the 800K has been in the bank for 4 months, which will be around mid April?

Can it be done online at eVisa or do I need to go to CW?

Hi. Just a curious question and it's not that I'm going to do it, but:

Has anyone ever been asked to show that they still have the 800k in their bank, after they have renewed their O or OA visa, within the first 3 months. .

It's not a provision on your first 90 day report and I've never heard anyone ever having to show it.

Cheers. 🙏
