bumofdabeach Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I see there is a requirement to have 800k baht in a Thai bank and am wondering how long I must maintain this balance in order to obtain this visa. Is it just required for the application process or do I have to show it periodically Sent from my Lenovo A1000 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Two months prior to the initial application for a 1-year retirement extension. Three months prior to all subsequent annual retirement extension renewals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be in the bank for 60 days for first application and 3 months after that on the date you apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChouDoufu Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 and to piggyback onto this discussion, i assume it should not be a problem to invest the 800K during the 9 months not required for seasoning? could maybe go through a bank and buy mutual funds or stocks, liquidate 3-1/2 months prior and put in bank account for 3 months prior to next annual extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aditi Sharma Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Make sure the money is in a bank and not a co-operative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasoning means the money has been in the bank for a certain period of time. I think the authorities dont care where the funds came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
