I've had the Retirement Visa now for 3 years but due to the Thai Baht I will be short of the 800,000 by about 30,000 Baht. Do I need to put 30,000 Baht in the bank now or will I have to go back to a marriage Visa and if so will there be a problem?? My Visa expires in August. Thanks.

Go the income route if you can, easier than stashing 800k

If your visa expires in August just has to be in 90 days before so that would be May

if your married its only 400k???

Why not use the monthly income plus deposit route? If you are short 30,000B you only need to show you make 30,000B a month. I'd show a little more just as a buffer. But you'll need a "income letter" from the Embassy.

Just a thought.

Retirement requirement is 800k/65k or combination - there is no discount for being married (but another extension option is available). For poster I would advise continue using retirement (much easier) but have more than 30k in a bank account. At most locations it does not have to be in account any set period but at worst 3 months at or above that level would be required so should be easy in either case. If you have to return/change to marriage extensions of stay it can be done but if they see you just short a small amount as you are they will likely ask that you continue using retirement as easier for them also (and a local decision).
