Retirement / extension expired - new entry / bank account

[thuisinthailand]

Hi all,

 

I have lived in Thailand based on retirement for a few years, so I am familiar with most of the rules. My last extension has expired, as I am in Europe for a while, so I will return to Thailand with a brand new Non-Immigrant O (based on retirement again). My question: as for the amount of 800,000 baht that is needed in my Thai bank account, do I go back to the 2 months seasoning period (instead of the 3 months I had with the last few extensions) since I will re-enter with a new Non-Immigrant visum, so the extension process will start all over again?

 

Many thanks in advance for your advice.

It will be considered as your first extension. The 800k baht will only need to be in the bank for 60 days on the date you apply.

Thanks, much appreciated!

They should only insist on 60 days.

Why should?

The 60 days is intended for the first extension of a 90 day entry from a non-o visa. His previous extension will not affect that.
