I do my extensions at CW. I've also changed accounts at least 3 times already on this visa. Started with 800K equivalent in an FCA at SCB, then went over to a baht account at BBL. Now in baht with KBank. Yes, both the savings account and the fixed deposit I'm discussing here are at the same bank, so I'm not changing banks again this time. Only accounts. But the question was about spending out of one account immediately when you don't plan to use that account again for an extension the following year. Thinking back now, I think I probably already did that once or twice in the past when I switched banks. I may have not started using the money in the account immediately, but in most cases, shortly after getting the visa extension stamp, I closed the account that would no longer be used for the next extension. So far, no problems.

Currently I meet the financial requirement for my annual retirement extension by using a Thai baht savings account at a Thai bank with ฿800K in it. I will also use that same savings account for my next renewal coming up in early 2026. After that next extension is granted I want to begin spending the funds in that savings account for my daily expenses immediately, if I can. I also have a fixed deposit account with already another ฿800K in it that I opened up earlier this year. My plan is to use that fixed deposit as the financial proof for my following retirement visa extension in 2027. My question is this. Once I receive the 2026 extension stamp in my passport can I then immediately begin using the money now in my savings account without risking any issues during that extension period or when I apply for the following extension again in 2027, given that the fixed deposit account already contains the required ฿800K now? Thank you.
