Gilbert Fierro no resets.

IO’s look at your pattern and it’s up to them.

If it looks like you are spending a lot of time in Thailand, without a visa, you may be interviewed or you may be refused entry.

Yes.

But I suggest that you try and open a bank account before you go back to the U.K.

One less thing to do when you return in the 90 days.

You could even add the required funds as and when you want, as long as they are seasoned for at least 2 months before you apply for your 1 year extension.

Just 1 correction.

You don’t apply for a ‘1 year retirement visa’.

You actually used that visa for entry.

Immigration stamp you into the country with a 90 day permit to stay.

So you actually apply for a 1 year extension to that permit to stay.

But people do often call it a visa.

And it has to remain 3 months post extension and not fall below
*****
0 in months 4 to 10, and then back up to
*****
0 again prior to a further extension.

That’s in most cases.

There are some people saying at certain banks the money has to be seasoned for longer periods.
