Do I need to have monthly deposits in addition to maintaining 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account for a retirement visa?

Russell ********

if you wish to pay extra yes on exchange.

Much easier to have an account here, and many processes require you to have one if you stay here longer term- legal, visa, DD etc

You can dip into your Visa account instead for this but not immediatly before or after Visa renewal and not below 400K at anytime

You'll need money here anyway of course: some use their ' visa' account for their monthly expenses, others set up a seperate account, but the latter has nothing to do with visas if you have the 800K in the other

Go along to Immigration locally and ask for their latest list. It may differ slightly region to region but best to have this from the horses mouth

Can I return to Thailand on a visa exempt 60-day stay in 2025 after my previous stays and extensions?

If in doubt, buy a visa in your country before you leave. It's inexpensive and easy.

The legal situation is that you are not really a tourist in the accepted sense but only enter om Tourist visas, or no Visa at all, as a tourist.

As you have seen, it's hit and miss whether you will be pulled up again. It's their prerogative to send you back if you get unlucky.
