Retirement visa 800,000 baht in bank.

[pjuk]

I have a retirement visa issued on 20 December 2018, my next 90 day report is due 19 March 2019.

I understand from 1st March 2019 the 800,000 baht must stay in your bank for 90 days after the visa issue date.

Can somebody advise will this apply to my visa or only to visas issued after 1st March ?

Do your 90 day report online.

OP, the requirements you are asking about, it would seem will be applied to your next extension DEC 2019.

Just do your 90 day report as per usual.

OP, It's my understanding that you don't need to keep the 800k in you bank for 3 months after your last extension, since this rue SHOULD only be applied to extensions granted AFTER 1st March 2019.

BUT I've heard of a few people who've recently (last 2 weeks) been extended that have been told they also need to keep their 800k minimum for 3 months (even though the rule is not formally started yet).

 

My advice to you would be to try if possible to keep over 800k until your 3 months are up, and then keep to a 400k minimum for the rest of the year until your next seasoning period commences.... assuming you are planning on getting another extension in Dec 2019.  

I'm probably being over cautious, buy surely better to be safe than sorry...
