retirement extensions-please help.

[Scouse123]

Guys,

 

For long term holders of retirement extensions, can you give a hand, please?

 

I have been back in the UK having two bereavements, both unexpected of close friends who have gone way too early. That's the reason I have been very silent here. I normally try to keep my self up to date.

 

I am a retirement extension holder for already 7 years. The only question is I thought it was three months before renewal cash had to be in savings or fixed deposit,

 

I am seeing two months and new rules blah blah about three months after. I don't want the politics, it has been done to death,

 

My retirement is renewable on July 17th. I have funds here but in a Krung Thai fund which they do not accept. So is it two or three months before please?

 

Thanks, guys in advance.

at what office do you extend

[Joe Mcseismic]

The new order says two months before, but, some immigration offices are holding on to the three months before rule. eg. Phuket immigration office. You'll need to telephone the immigration office that you intend to use to extend your stay.

It is 2 months before and 3 months after.

Following that you need to keep 400,000 in the bank.

Under the new rules it’s 2 months prior to the application date.

I use Sakon Nakhon

Guys.

 

You people are great. I STILL am not in the mood after losing two pals aged 56 and 42 to check out a million posts on the rights and wrongs  of the new laws.

 

I just needed clarification on the two or three month becore rule.

 

I am covered. It just means moving it from KTB funds to savings account in TIME.

 

I do have a friendly  relationship with Sakon Nakhon but it surely depends on how they interpret  the new rules.

 

Always found them decent  to me in the past.

 

Thanks again.

If you have time put there to meet the 3 month requirement and then you are covered. No worries

The official new rule is definitely two months before and three months after for all. Be careful. You can't go one baht under for three months after or your annual extension will become void.

 

After that never under 400k for the rest of the year before starting your next 800k seasoning phase.

 

Enjoy!
