Do I need proof of overseas funds for a Thai retirement visa extension, and can I use a visa exemption for an extension?

ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A Thai visa agent mentioned that proof of the 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for two months prior to a retirement extension application does not require evidence of overseas transfers. This is correct for the retirement extension process if you're applying from a Non-O visa or a previous extension. However, you cannot directly use a visa exemption to obtain a yearly extension; you must first get a 90-day Non-O visa.
