but certainly not 400k for 12 months.

I did mention that in my post and most intelligent people would understand what I said  but if you want to be pedantic about it how is this 

you must keep 400k balance as long as you intend to get continuous yearly extensions - that could be 12 months 24 months 5 years 10 years or whatever - increasing the balance to 800k for 5 months - 2 months before and 3 months after your application, your balance must never go below 400k - not 7 months not 12 months...……. "not ever"

I have no idea if it is 2 months or 3. One thing is for certain though if TI say 3 than that is what's required. I know in future I will make sure that I have the funds in a Thai Bank 3 months prior to application.

That is entirely up to you and keep it there above 800k for 3 months after your approval date then 400k for the following 12 months - if you don't you may have problems with your next renewal

The IMO is correct 2 months for first application and every renewal after that is money in situ 3 months prior

not with the new rules

It is 2 months before and 3 months after for the 800k then 400k for the following 12 months - new rules

The point of this thread is to bring to attention an IO office that doesn't know the new rules or isn't implementing them, your uninformed incorrect post just confuses the issue

With reference to the last sentence, does anybody know for sure if the "3 months after being granted permission" starts on the day an extension is approved or from the expiry of the last extension/start of new one ? The qualifying period before is counted back from application date so i would assume it is 3 months after that too ...... but maybe that it too logical for Thai bureaucracy. I would hate to do an extension a month early, start spending the money 3 months later, only to be told next year that the 3 months started on the extension date and therefore I was a month short !

It is filing date and granted date the latter may not be the effective date of your extension

800,000 in bank 

 

did you season for 2 months or 3, did they even suggest you keep the balance for 3 months after or mention the 400k baht balance for 12 months, very strange they didn't mention any of this or even give you an explanation sheet  

There is no single player makes a team, either in midfield defence or forward, it takes a coherent combination in all three areas that can play together like 3 mini teams that feed eachother  - Manu is disjointed - there is no synergy, that is were the manger skill comes into play, he either creates that synergy or brings players in that already have it

currently they are not even close - when you see a quality team like Barca - they are an attacking team that have their playbook fine tuned - they fall apart when you take it to them - it interrupts their playbook and they don't know how to deal with it - weakness in Manu is they have no coherent attack but manage to squeeze the odd goal in by sheer individual determination or again through individual skill force a penalty here and there 

They are nowhere close to being a complete fine tuned team like LIV or MANC and IMO with the current players never will be - so some hard choices need to be made through the summer

the endless stream of copies, signatures, and prove of this and that drives me nuts. 

the answer to this massive waste of paper and the completely unnecessary copies of everything - who owns the copy shop right next to the IO Office

Proof of a pension.

If you can get one people have used income proof from their embassy showing a small amount of  income (proof of retirement is not needed if using proof of 65k baht income).

Some people used a statement they are retired notarized by their embassy.

so this is a requirement to get a SE Type O visa from some consulates - never heard of that until now, I thought all that was required was a Thai bank balance

They've done exactly that already to people using the income method. We now have to bring 65k baht into Thailand from abroad each and every month, plus, if asked, provide proof of where that income originated from.

 

You think they can't/won't do the same/similar in the future to prove people using the 'money in the bank' have an adequate income for living expenses while in Thailand.

 

Tell me why do you think this can't/won't happen????

because people are now adding to the 800k over the 5 months seasoning to cover living expenses, over that period I will have an extra 200kbaht and if I need more I will transfer more, because the seasoning has gone from 3 months to 5 months I have had to cover an extra 2 months living expenses that I didn't need to do last year - and for what ?

I refuse to transfer money here on a monthly basis for several reasons but primarily because of bank charges, I do one or two transfers a year from outside Thailand - why is that not enough

Would like to know also

Many thanks.

be very careful, an agent right now might take your dosh (why not) but when it comes to renewal in 12 months you could be shafted when you are checked for compliance  with the rules - and you didn't

anyone that thinks any team in the very competitive EPL should be winning every encounter is delusional - I don't expect it from MU or any other team

Wolves played a blinder and deserved the win on the day, Arsenal game was a possible win with almost 3 goals scored hitting the woodwork twice, overall since Ole took over it has been a mighty turnaround, I am enthusiastic going forward

OP, Any failure would most likely apply to your "next" extension not your current extension (that you already qualified for). The requirements are basically for your next extension, the rules etc dont mention cancelling an exsisting.

 

don't agree, I think your current extension would be cancelled and you would not be able to renew (if allowed) for up to 2 months depending on when your balance dropped below 800k 

that is a considerable penalty to have to leave the country and start the whole process from scratch by obtaining a new 90 day visa

I'm sure in the near future more money will be needed to continue to live in this beautiful country.

in real terms (your home currency to baht exch rate) it is already over 20% more from 2-3 years ago - even more if you go back further, so that balance of 800k is costing a lot more in your home currency today. Typically the amount of your home currency needed to meet 800k today would be worth well over 1m baht 3 years ago - go back 10 years and it is half that again

It is rather ironic that they want to see money going into a Thai bank account and refuse to accept money going into your home bank account - yet they then want to see the money going into your home bank as proof - how daft is that

Why not just accept your home bank account to begin with
