The 800k baht that is required for the retirement visa must now be on deposit three months prior to the visa renewal date - in my case I have signed a form at the Chiang Mai Immigration Office last year stating that I agreed to this at the next renewal. Question is, if I deposit 800k three months prior to renewal and then spend some of the money and take it down to under 800k by the renewal date, am I considered to have insufficient funds for the visa renewal. In other words, does anyone know if I am required to have 800k on deposit on BOTH dates, renewal date and the date three months prior or merely on one of those two dates?

Thanks

I believe they look at the three months and it must not dip below 800k during that time - all the more reason to use pension/income for at least part of the amount; if you have that option.
