Hi, back in December I asked a similar question but now I dig into details (I know about bt 800.000 wired from abroad, the seasoning and the bt 65.000 option).

Now, if I enter TH with a 90 day non-O Retirement Visa, have the bt 800.000 in my bank for well over 2 months, could I ask for 12 months Extension of stay shortly after I enter or do I need to respect a certain period before applying (I am aware that I “waste” approved time but I have a reason)?
Answer summary
Upon entering Thailand with a 90-day Non-O Retirement Visa and having maintained the required 800,000 THB in your bank for over 2 months, you typically need to adhere to specific guidelines for applying for a 12-month extension of stay. Most immigration offices allow you to apply for the extension only when you have 30 days or less remaining on your current stamp, although some may permit applications when you have 45 days left. It is advisable to verify the rules with your local immigration office.

Non 0 retirement visa: Is it confirmed you can easily open bank account first in order to store the 800 k? Don’t they need proof of long term address ? They aint gonna play the egg-chicken guessing game, are they?

You can apply for the 1yr extension at the earliest (some offices) 45 days or 30 days left on your 90 day.

You need to find out at the immigration office local to you.

Most immigration offices you apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left on your stamp. Some when you have 45 days or less left.
