Thanks for the replies, but I am still not completely clear (note this is the first application for a Non-O Visa/Extension to stay for retirement).
Does the THB 800k need to be in the bank on the day one applies for the Non-O Visa, or 60 days prior to the application for the 1 year extension to stay?
One other question re source of funds. Recently sold a condo in BKK, for which I have the original FET showing the amount of forex imported. The proceeds from the sale are still in my Thai bank. Can I use these funds as "originating from abroad" for the purpose of the Visa/Extension to Stay?
thanks again, Al
