Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
Looking for first-hand feedback from people who have extended under the ?new? 800k in the bank rules. How is the Udon office handling the alleged requirement to keep 800k in the bank after you extend? And for how long (if applicable)?
Please, I'm not interested in other immigration offices or heard-it-through-the-grapevine accounts

Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
Going this week for the first 90 day report after extension granted. Will report back after but still believe I/O when asked said only passport required. Have not heard or seen anyone posting that they had to show 800K in bank after 3 months.
Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
Did my 1year in March. No word of 800k for 3 Mt. After.
90 day in June only passport no bankbook or other prof.
In and out in 5 min.

Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
this 800.000 baht 3 months after requirement is not the big question , big question is, are they implying the not touch 400.000 baht new rule ? i have done 12 years extension based on marriage, and changed it later to retirement when i became 50 ,(more easy ) now i will have to get back to stupid marriage extension based , as i do not want immigration start controlling what i can do with my own money , all about principles....
Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
So, you're saying that if immigration doesn't have a 3 month rule after a retirement extension but they do have a 3 month rule after a marriage extension, you'll revert back to a retirement extension?kopkei wrote: ↑August 13, 2019, 6:32 pmthis 800.000 baht 3 months after requirement is not the big question , big question is, are they implying the not touch 400.000 baht new rule ? i have done 12 years extension based on marriage, and changed it later to retirement when i became 50 ,(more easy ) now i will have to get back to stupid marriage extension based , as i do not want immigration start controlling what i can do with my own money , all about principles....

Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
You maybe misunderstanding. The actual rule (it seem that Udon may not be NOT enforcing it) is for a retirement extension you must maintain 800k for 3 months after the extension AND not less than 400k at all times.parrot wrote: ↑August 13, 2019, 6:36 pmSo, you're saying that if immigration doesn't have a 3 month rule after a retirement extension but they do have a 3 month rule after a marriage extension, you'll revert back to a retirement extension?kopkei wrote: ↑August 13, 2019, 6:32 pmthis 800.000 baht 3 months after requirement is not the big question , big question is, are they implying the not touch 400.000 baht new rule ? i have done 12 years extension based on marriage, and changed it later to retirement when i became 50 ,(more easy ) now i will have to get back to stupid marriage extension based , as i do not want immigration start controlling what i can do with my own money , all about principles....

This is completely separate from the marriage 400k requirement.

In my posts all fees and requirements are the standard R&R but TIT and a brown envelope can make incredible changes YMMV.

Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
I have checked with friends in various parts of the Kingdom and no one yet has been asked to prove they had 800k in the bank after an extension was issue and no one has ever been checked that they have maintained 400k thereafter. It seems when Big Joke was sacked that amended rule was as well. If someone has 'real' different information not just hearsay please share it.

Everything you read on the internet, take it with a few grains of salt, and anything on Thailand Immigration with a cup of salt, for most is just pure BS.AlexO wrote: ↑September 4, 2019, 3:23 pmI have checked with friends in various parts of the Kingdom and no one yet has been asked to prove they had 800k in the bank after an extension was issue and no one has ever been checked that they have maintained 400k thereafter.

Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
They may not have asked But at the annual renewal of Visa along with the letter from Bank they have taken Bank Book and had a look through it , maybe verifying that the money has been availalbe.
I wouldnt know as they have never said anything about it as the money is always there

Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
Thats my thoughts, when doing renewal would be when check MIGHT be done for the 90 day after requirements, not on 90 day report as that can be done online. IF it starts to be enforced might take a while to be implemented.Doodoo wrote: ↑September 4, 2019, 5:44 pmThey may not have asked But at the annual renewal of Visa along with the letter from Bank they have taken Bank Book and had a look through it , maybe verifying that the money has been availalbe.

Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
When I did my extension in July nothing was said about checking again after 90 days However the New rule 800k before + for 3 mths after and 400k for the rest of the year was mentioned so I dont think this rule has been abandoned since Big Joke left Immigration.

Can I ask what I/O you did your extension in. I have never heard of anyone here in Udon being told that this is now a requirement or that any of my friends in other parts of the Kingdom have ever been asked for this. All I have seen is an interview in The Thaiger with the No 2 in command of Immigration Police saying 'nothing' has changed from last year. Again if anyone has had to provide this information please drop a message on either TV or UM to let others know.

Re: Time Requirement, Post Extension, for 800K in Bank
There are first hand reports of the requirement to show 800k after the retirement extension is granted from at least one office. The people involved have received a 90day report for bank information (totally different from the usual 90 day report). So far there have been no reports of proof of the continuing 400k being required, but it may be that nobody has reached the 180 days since the extension or that nobody has bothered to report a negative.AlexO wrote: ↑September 4, 2019, 3:23 pmI have checked with friends in various parts of the Kingdom and no one yet has been asked to prove they had 800k in the bank after an extension was issue and no one has ever been checked that they have maintained 400k thereafter.

AFIK There are no reports of this being required at Udon.
The only thing that has been said is by one Udon IO in relation to the marriage extension (requirement to keep money in the bank after the extension) and said at the time of application. The requirement (not part of the modified rules) has not been required when the extension was issued.
