I am hoping this is a silly question

I am assuming that the new rules (regarding money in the bank for a further 3 months) which come into effect on March 1st will only apply to extensions issued on or after that date.

 

For example, my retirement extension was granted mid-January, so I am assuming I am not required to show evidence of money in the bank when I go for my 90 day report in April.

 

Is this correct?

I assume the same as you. Its not a silly question. Also im only guessing this is what will happen. My extension was November 2018 so similar to your situation. I assume that in Nov 2019 I will trot along to CW with 800k seasoned and the 800k 3 month after and 400k after that will apply from then on. Meaning after my extension 2019, i need to meet new requirements. BTW the 90 day report has nothing to do with monitoring the funds in the bank. Those conditions will be checked on the following extension. For me that will be Nov 2020. If I fail to show I did maintain the 800 three month after my 2019 extension or the 400k after that etc then my extension would not be granted. I would need leave Thailand before date of permission of stay. For me that would mean a new non o

That is indicated by the new rules. There is nothing stating it is retroactive. Only that it goes into effect on March 1st.
