Do I need 800,000 baht in a Thai account to change my Non-O visa to a retirement visa while still working?
I want to change my non o visa to a retirement visa, I'm still working I'm over 50. Do I need the 800.000baht on a thai account?#
Answer summary
To extend your Non-O visa based on retirement, you typically need to show 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for at least 2 months. However, conversion from a Non-O visa to a retirement visa is not possible; you must apply for a one-year extension based on retirement. It's important to note that if you're on a retirement visa, you cannot work.

@Raymond ********
he already has a retirement visa. He is asking for the requirements for a "1-year extension of the stay permit based on retirement", inside Thailand. These requirements for the application to the EoS inside Thailand vary a bit from those required for the application to the retirement visa outside of ThailandRaymond *********
But it's still 800 000thb, as I said , not as suggestion

You don’t have to be retired. You just have to be over 50 and not work in Thailand.

Halves the money from 800K to 400K but introduces other possible complications. You fully depend on your wife. I am married to Thai woman, 25 years, our daughter is a student in Australia. We live in Japan.
I went for 800K in Thai bank. We intend to live in Thai 10 months a year, my own condo. Non-O 1 year extension of stay.

different reasons. It halves for a non-o extension based on marriage not retirement
Jan ******************
You cannot convert a Non O visa into a retirement visa, which you already hold, but you can apply for a one-year extension of stay based on retirement by showing 800,000 baht in a Thai bank for two months, or by providing an income affidavit from your embassy if it still issues one.

And what exactly was your point supposed to be? The requirements stand regardless of your personal impatience with accuracy. Adding one sentence to ensure correct terminology is simply called being precise — something you might try sometime. But sure, there’s always someone who thinks their guesswork outweighs clarity.”

Is it a non o over 5O visa ext does need 800kthb in the bank for an extended period
Stuart ***********
Yes, when you enter Thailand on the non-O visa, you need to open an account in Thailand and deposit 800,000 baht in the first week. You then wait 2 months and apply for a 12 month extension of stay.
Stuart ***********
Yes you need 800,000 baht in a thai account for 2 months before you can extend your stay for 12 months (it's not a visa, you used the visa to enter Thailand).
