DefaultName Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I've got a bit confused on this one, I have done a search, and now I'm more confused. I'm currently on my 3rd retirement extension. UK citizen. So, for clarity. Money in bank method, my understanding is; ฿800.000 in bank for 2 months before extension. Has to remain there for 3 months after. Here's where I get confused; After that 3 months, up until 2 months before my next extension is due, how much do I have to leave in the bank? I thought it was ฿400,000, but I'm being told - "man in the pub" told - that it's the full ฿800,000 now???? I'm concerned because I've already dropped below the ฿800,000 and I don't want to have to go through the whole rigmarole again. Help please.

Andrew Dwyer Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 As far as I am aware you can drop down to 400k 3 months after your extension and then back up to 800k 2 months before your next extension is due . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I've not read of one report of a person dropping below the limit and being refused an extension. Maybe i missed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puchaiyank Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The amount, in the final analysis, is what your local immigration office says it is. Best to know ahead of time what their policy is so you can plan accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i missed it The 400k doesn't bother me, it was the 800k, I dropped to about 760k after the 3 months check and was worried that there was a new rule that I'd missed. Happy now.

He was stiffed because you can get the extension for 12k, they probably smelt blood Edited August 19, 2020 by scubascuba3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
