ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking clarification on the bank account balance requirements for extending their 1-year non-O retirement visa in Thailand. They inquire whether they must keep 800,000 THB in their account throughout the first year, if they can reduce it to 400,000 THB after the extension, and if they can lower it now and top it up before the next extension. Community responses confirm that maintaining 800k is needed for 3 months after the extension and that lowering the amount is possible as long as the balance is restored before the next extension.
