Retirement Visa Question (pension + Bank Funds Combo)

[helvetian]

A quick question. When renewing an existing retirement visa, on the basis of a pension (approximately 50,000 Baht per month, about 600,000 per year) topped up with 200,000+ Baht in the bank to reach the combined total of 800,000 Baht, does it matter if the 200,000 Baht have not been in the bank account for a full 3 months before? I heard somewhere that it only needs to be there for 3 months when not using combined with a pension, correct? So around 2 months before would be enough?

1 day is enough

There is no seasoning requirement in the rules for the combination method.

But it has been reported that some immigration offices want it to be in the bank for 3 months. Suggest you check with your assigned immigration office to confirm

As said there is no requirement, but the odd Immigration Officer may have different ideas.
