They rarely check balance. But to be safe if leaving every 6 months then why not transfer for a couple of days. Your also suppose to be able to extend for 6 months but they make it difficult so people border run.
Why not just transfer the money before traveling? It’s easy. One or two days won’t kill you. Everyone worries about investing but 500,000 is not a lot unless using it in a margin account
