@Max ************

there is no rule of thumb in Thailand and everything is open to interpretation and regional, I use Buriram immigration and Jomtien immigration and found Buriram extremely helpful and very flexible compared to Jomtien manly due to the work load and stupid people not playing by the rules

I went from 30 days visa exempt Australian.

Can I leave 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account for my annual visa extension?

Darin ********

I am now on retirement visa and transfer a minimum of 65-100k baht per month, must do 65k+ every month for 12 months without a break prior to renewing. Then get bank book updated and letter from bank. This way you don’t need 800k in bank account
