Could people with extensions based on retirement under current law require THB 400k in the bank as of 1 March???

Hi everybody,

 

the recent police order states, among others, that people with an extension based on retirement will need to maintain a minimum balance of THB 400k as of 1 March 2019.

 

Does this mean that people with extensions based on current law will need to comply as well?   

 

Here is my case,  as an example:

. extension based on retirement expires mid July 2019

. I plan to bring in funds end of March to maintain bank book above THB 800k during April, May and June

. However, the balance of my bank book is now below THB 400k and will be during March

 

Could this be a problem at my Immigration Office (Udon Thani) when I apply for extension in early July?

 

Many thanks

The 400k minimum will be post your next extension.

Go and ask your local (to Udon Thani) Visa agency, which is the best practical solution. I would like to think that by evidencing 65k income per month up until the time you apply for extension could be acceptable.

The op is using 800k in bank method. He does not need to show 65k income/month.
