I recently had my Non-O retirement visa extended, but BB’s new policy made the process extremely difficult, complicated, and costly in both time and money.

I would now like to transfer my funds from BB to another bank. Would it cause any problems if I withdraw all the money from my BB account, which I used for the visa extension, since one of the conditions requires maintaining a minimum balance of THB 400,000? Or, as long as I have THB 800,000 (THB 400,000 2 months prior to the filling date) in any Thai bank account, would that be acceptable?

In other words, for my future visa renewal, must I continue using the same bank account that I originally used for the visa application and initial renewal?

If anyone has experience to share, I would appreciate it.

Has anyone applied for a retirement visa using the monthly income requirement instead of the 80K deposit? If so, how did you get your documents verified since the embassy doesn’t handle it?

I've been in Thailand for many years with an Extension based on retirement of an original Non-Immigrant O visa. I also have a ME Reentry Permit. I just returned to Thailand with a new soft power DTV. The IO wanted to admit me under the old extension but I explained that I wanted to enter under the new DTV so that my wife could apply for a spousal DTV. After a few minutes and a short discussion with another IO, he stamped me in for 6 months. The entry stamp says "DTV" hand written on it.

My question is -- am I required to go to Immigration to cancel the extension of the original Non-O visa? Or can I just let it expire on its own? I do plan on leaving and re-entering Thailand at least one more time before the extension expires. I'd like to avoid the half day at Immigration if possible.

With Bangkok bank freezing bank accounts for lodgement and withdrawals at the moment till accounts can be verified in original branch. This will also stop funds being transferred for seasoning so could affect future visa applications. As not everyone is in Thailand at the moment and may not be possible to me make it in time.

Just to let others know if you didn't already know, ref you Retirement visa stamp or other stamps and the 90 day report.

I got my retirement visa stamped in my passport dated 2nd July 25 ok. Put the small bit of paper they give you to tell you your next 90 day report was dated 19th May 25. Now this confused me as I thought the stamp in my passport was the time the 90 days would start from (Wrong) it's the small bit of paper that was dated 29th May that the 90 days works on. They told me you need to go by this date and not your visa stamp. So as you can see my next online report now is the 16th Nov.

Hope this helps anyone out as it was a bit confusing for me.
