Hi, I am wanting to change my current banking deposits from the required 65k minimum to the 800k bank acc. minimum.

Have maintained 65k deposits but not sure on 800k seasoning requirements. My retirement visa renewal due end of April ' 25.

I've just come across the passage below regarding extending an o-a visa. I was unaware that it is possible to extend it in-county by depositing 800k in a Thai bank. The passage makes no mention of seasoning. The best thing is to check with them, but I thought I'd ask here first anyone has information on, or experience of, this? Could I deposit 800k in a bank a couple of weeks before my visa expires and expect it to be extended for a year? Thanks.
