I wrote the requirement in the post you quoted.
If you use an agent you will have to use them next year if you remove the funds from the bank after getting the extension of stay issued.
Why bro? What is the reason behind it? Please kindly help enlighten. Tjanks

At the start, I acquired the visa from my country of origin. Long Stay tourist visa. Visa was till end February. Then I renewed it by myself at Bangkok immigration for 30 days..then again before the end of March, had it renewed using an agent for another 60 days still at Bangkok immigration. Then now looking to extend my stay here amd I was advised by agent to go for Retiree Visa and fee they are asking me is 25k Baht and telling me that money 800k is not required? Could that be true? Thanks bro
And also if agent, for 25k Baht fee, they say 800k deposit is not required, doesn't it violate written immigration laws?

I'm so confused Chris. So your using an agent. How did you last enter Thailand? Tourist visa or visa exempt or .....?
If your using an agent then you will not required 800k in bank etc.
If you actually can deposit money in the bank then you would need to follow the requirements outlined in Ubonjoe advice at start of thread.
Edit: add simple question. How much are you paying your agent. If it's just assistance then few k.
If to cover not having funds in Thai bank etc more like 25k.

Clarifying everything because visa agency is telling that money deposiyt is not needed, and if I will deposit it in my Thai bank account, it can remove from there too as soon as I wanted...
But wouldn't it be a violation of Immuigration requirement?

I assume you are asking about a extension of stay (it is not a visa) based upon retirement.
The 800k baht in the bank for 2 months before the day you apply for the extension. Then you need to keep the 800k baht in the bank for 3 months from the day you apply and then 400k baht for the remainder of the extension.
Some offices have people return after 3 months to confirm the balance and others every 90 days.
If you did not meet the requirements for the year they could refuse to accept your application for the next extension.
Thanks for your answer bro...
Granting an initial Retiree visa is granted, can we be able to withdraw or transfer back the money into our bank account outside Thailand?

Thanks guys for your replies. I was actually asking converting from Long stay tourist visa to a retiree visa. Granting a visa has been approved, can you take out the money within just a week or two and transfer it back to your bank account outside Thailand?

Ready for anything? Can you feed those who will be unemployed during the duration of the lockdown and the families relying on them?

For the Retiree Visa, 800,000Baht is required deposited in a Thai Bank... Could you use/withdraw your money from the bank after visa is granted? Will the Immigration checks on it?
Required money for Retiree Visa
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

But will it not be counter check by Immigration if there's a money in the bank or not? And is it not illegal?
