Can I access my funds in a fixed account at Kasikornbank before the maturity period for my visa?

If you're using the B800,000 for your retirement visa . You can access your funds 3 months after you got the extension. It can NOT fall below B400,000 2 to 4 months before the next extension depending on the bank it must be topped up back to B800,000
