Please advise- Am I required to have $800K baht in Thai bank account for Thai multiple entry retirement visa renewal.

If so how many months prior to renewal should said money be in the account prior to renewal please?

Thanks

Ive been sending the 65KTHB was required monthly (from US) in order to get the 800K bunked back after the first year - which cycles around mid-January 2025.

It sure seems like many people have written to be incoming the same day every month or very close (and once it was 5 days from that) or very likely rejected - ie I wouldn’t be able to drop the requirement of keeping 800K after a year - is that true?

Also that they want to see it as looking like a pension amount - regularly deposited and sent out - and sometimes I put it in in several deposits the same day (like 35K + 10K + 20K) simply because Wise wouldn’t allow the whole 65K to go through at once except several days later.

So that also makes me wonder about the likelihood of them making me keep the 800K in another year

British citizen - Will be applying for retirement visa in Bangkok soon, lived here many years, current non Imm B work permit etc. Is it necessary to show 800 K came from overseas ?

Can I keep the ‘equivalent’ of 800k Thb in an FCD account in a Thai bank and qualify for retirement extension

Thanks for accepting me to the group. I will plan an unexpected early retirement this year and then move to Thailand soon. Intital retirement visa to get into the kingdom should be no problem. As I recon I have to do a 1yr extension and re-entry permit once I have arrived in Bkk. The question is: which bank does the 800K THB have to be in? i heard it must be a government bank? They have branches at the CW Immi Office? (I already have an account with Kasikorn for many years)

Does the two month seasoning of the 800K THB apply to the date of expiry of my retirement visa, or to the date of application?

Feral Willcox If I'm renewing a retirement visa that expires August 26, do I need 800K THB in account 2 months before and 3 after, or three months before and three after?
