I have a retirement visa. Had the 800,000 baht in my Thai bank. Building a home and it has gone below 400,000 baht.
My renewal is due in March 2026.
I have today transferred 400,000 baht to top up my Thai account.
Will there be any repercussions for letting it go below 400,000 baht?
I have searched and am unable to find any reference to maintaining a bank balance of 400,000 baht.
Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses concerns regarding the lack of maintenance of the required 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for a retirement visa and the implications this might have for future visa extensions. Comments emphasize that while you can drop to 400,000 baht after three months, failure to meet these financial requirements may lead to denial of future extensions. Suggestions include consulting with an immigration agent or starting the process again by applying for a new non-O visa if needed.
