Do I need to keep the retirement funds in my Thai bank account for 2 months before applying for the Non-O visa?

@Charles ************

there is no upside to sending the money a little bit at a time because IF you use an office that requires the 800K baht to be seasoned two months before you apply for the 90 day Non-O that two months won't start until your balance hits 800K

Transfer it in all at once is fine.

There are only one or two that require the banked money seasoned for the initial 90 day Non-O (Jomtien and one other one I can't remember) all the rest just need you to show the funds in a thai bank account in your name only transferred in from abroad (and Chiang Mai doesn't even require you show where the 800K baht came from) 😮

What immigration office are you using?

For the initial in-country Non-O visa based on Retirement that you are applying for at your local immigration office, the funds aren't required to be sit in your bank account for a minimum period.

It has to be in your bank account at least two months prior to your application day (not the day of your extension starts) for your 1-year extension.

You need to go to your local immigration office to get the handout of the requirements for the In-country Non-O visa application AND 1-year extension because those are office specific.

But here is the general information for in-country Non-O retirement requirements and attached is general info for a 1-year extension.
