Can extra deposits in a Thai bank account for retirement visa income verification cause issues?

Has anyone used your Thai bank account and the 12 months deposit method for income verification for a retirement visa and deposited extra money for housing deposits or spending money, etc., and run into any issues? I know immigration wants to see 12 months worth of deposits, I'm wondering if any extra deposits will mess things up.

Summary so far

The discussion centers around using a Thai bank account with a 12-month deposit method for income verification for a retirement visa. The main concern is whether additional deposits for housing or spending money would complicate the process. While several comments touch on unrelated aspects of Non-O visa validity and entry requirements into Thailand, they don’t directly address the original question about banking deposits, leaving the reader without a clear resolution.

90 day to validate the visa by entering which will be valid for 90 days (before you extend it for a year)

The 3-month Non-O visa from the Canberra Embassy is valid for use for exactly 90 days from the date it is issued.

You must enter Thailand before the "Enter Before" date printed on your visa. Don't worry—no matter which day you choose to fly in within that 90-day window, you will always get a brand-new, full 90-day permission to stay stamp upon arrival at the Thai airport.

Right, so "Validity" of a 3-month Non O visa is 3 months. Obviously. But how long after I am granted the visa have I got to enter Thailand before it expires is what I wanted to know. That was answered on this site, but not by the ambiguously translated image above.

90 days.

You have 90 days to arrive in Thailand, and when you arrive, you will be stamped in for 90 days.

Tom Pola I haven't got one yet because I don't fly for 3 months. Some visas are/were valid for entry for a year after being granted, some for 3 months. Maybe some for only one month.

All non-O visas are valid for use for 90-days from the date they are issued by the embassy. As long as you enter before the date on the visa, which will be 90-days from when it is issued, you will be granted a 90-day entry stamp.
