Seasoning of Funds


Recommended Posts

For the Visa extension for RETIREMENT, one of the conditions is to have 800,000 Baht (or a foreign device equal the amount) in a Bank Account.
This amount needs to be seasoned at the bank 3 moths PRIOR to the extension and 2 months AFTER the extension.
If the extension is granted, the account may not drop below 400,000 Baht.
The "exact wording" doesn't change the original question, so refrain of all the posts about that (if possible at all).

My question is: , 
From the moment you do the first 90-days report after the extension to the 3 months prior to the next extension Immigration has no knowledge about the amount at the bank account. So, if the account drops below 400,000 baht, what would be the implications?
The bank book shows every year only the Balans at the day I update the bank book. No detail of any movements in between.

Your bank book will show it dropped below 400k surely, and your statement.

Nothing until your next extension is due and you would not be able to obtain extension.

Immigration checks retrospectively 12 months to see if financial requirements have been met.

 

90 day reports has nothing to do with financials 

Also be aware if you have business at immigration eg need to transfer stamps immigration can request photocopies of bank book pages.

Happened to me recently at CW

Your first 90 day report could be a week after your Extension. The two are NOT connected datewise.

As @DrJack54 indicated, for your first application, you only need two months of seasoning before applying.

However, after that, it will be three months before and after.

Not sure which immigration has that rule, however it's 800k for 2 months prior to extension and maintained for 3 months after and not below 400k in the other months. 

That is ongoing. Does not change.

Unless your using Jomtien. My first 90 day report is due 90 days after the issue of my 12 month extension

It's only for the first extension that sets the clock....

"The first application for extension of stay by the foreigner is equivalent to the notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days."

 

After the first extension 90 day reporting has nothing to do with extensions.

As usual some immigration offices play their own game and  do a TM47 when you apply for extension.

My understanding is Jomitien does not and certainly CW does not.

That's a very rude reply. 

You stated .....

"This amount needs to be seasoned at the bank 3 moths PRIOR to the extension and 2 months AFTER the extension."

 

That is clearly incorrect and the poster was helpful in pointing out your error.

As I have done along with others

I don't have a bank book.

My bank gives me 3 monthly sheets of my bank balance and a confirmation of the balance (Euro account) at the date of my application for visa extension (UOB).

This has been accepted already more than 10 years.
