Does your passport have to have 6 months valid when renewing your retirement visa? How early can you apply for your new one?

When on a non-o based on marriage to a Thai woman Is it allowed that a bank account drops under the 400k for a short period about 5 months prior to a new extension?

In reality does it actually matter under what category you apply? Workation or Soft Power? The actual visa is exactly the same.

I arrived in Thailand on a 3-month Non-O visa. After securing a lease and getting a letter from immigration, I was able to open a bank account. (Bangkok Bank refused me even with the immigration letter, but Kasikorn Bank accepted.)

Now I’m preparing to apply for a 1-year retirement visa. I have a few questions for those who have gone through this process, especially without using an agent:

1. Is medical insurance required for this visa?

2. How long do I need to wait after transferring the required funds before I can submit my application?

3. After the extension is granted, do I need to keep the full amount (or part of it) in the account, and if so, for how long?

Regarding holding the 800K baht for 3 months after the annual extension of retirement visa, is it 3 months from the date you applied / got the extension at immigration, or is it the date the previous extension expires, new extension starts?

Out of curiosity:

If you hold a DTV Soft Power, do you have to prove a 5 year course? From what I see on the Internet, the packages normally include a 1 year course plus visa support. What happens on re-entry after this first year? Do you have to book another course?

I know, the DTV isn't old enough to answer this questions. Just wondering ...

Im on a retirement visa here and had the 800,000 baht in my Thai bank. Recently read that 400,000 baht must be the lowest amount maintained in the bank account.

Is this correct as I am unable to see any detail of this for this visa?

What is the impact if the amount is below 400,000 baht?

Thanks.
