Will I face repercussions for dropping my retirement visa bank balance below 400,000 baht?

Tony **********

There's a good chance you will have to apply for a new non-o. If you're next extension isn't until mar-2026, how did you get your extension that would start Mar-2025?

Do I need a recent bank statement for a DT visa extension in Thailand?

Tony **********

I believe most want it current within the last 5 business days. Your passbook showing current balance should be obtained on the day of your extension application.

Keep/put as little capital in Thailand as possible. Invest your capital in your home country and transfer what you need (visa requirements, expenses) from the earnings. Rent, don't buy. Real estate is not an investment for foreigners in Thailand.

Tony **********

yes. And more that if you stay less than 180 in 2025, then the 800k and any startup money you bring in will not be taxable in 2025.

your 1yr occurs when you're close to your 90 day expiry. Observe you get your extension, the 90 day report resets when you renter the country.

You could also just do the 1yr extension (getting reentry permit(s) when you leave) if the ฿800k sitting in a Thai bank is not a burden for you
