Retirement money required?

[thescot]

Ive not long turned 50 and after 10+ years of extensions of stays based on marriage (Thai wife) i was going to apply for a retirement extension for simplicity at Pattaya immigration.
During the last 90 day report i asked about the change and was told it was no problem. Im due to apply next week and thought about starting to prepare the required paperwork. It seems that i would need 800K in the bank instead of the previous 400K and realise my bank account is now just under 800K. Money is not a problem but the required time in the account seems that the retirement is not an option any longer.
Is this correct and if anyone can confirm this to be correct or can give any other options i would be grateful. Thanks

You will need 800k baht in the bank for 3 months to apply for the extension based upon retirement.

It seems you will have to apply based upon marriage instead if you don't have 800k baht in the bank today.

OP you maybe have any other source of income or? If so, you can combine that income with money in the bank, and reach the 800.000 baht...
