The simplest way to find out is to go to the immigration office and ask them yourself. There are various "formulas" for qualifying for the retirement visa extension, depending on your circumstances (proof of pension etc>), some of which do not require the funds to be held in Thailand. However to the best of my knowledge, any "qualifying" deposits have to be held in a TBHT savings or fixed deposit account.

I had a problem with Hua Hin immigration simply because my funds were in a "fund account" and not in a cash account. It seems that you need your money in an "immediately available" type of account to qualify.

You put your money in a savings account, you cant have current account unless you have a work permit.

Money has to be in 90 days prior to you applying for your retirement extension visa.

Once you have your visa do what you want with the money.
