I got a non-O last December and plan to renew.
Do I start from 'zero' again with bank statements, proof of residence etc?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew your Non-O visa in Thailand, you will need to submit the same documents as required during your initial application, including bank statements and proof of residence. Each extension is considered a new application, so expect to start from scratch with documentation. For the financial requirements, you must show ฿800,000 in your bank account for at least two months prior to applying for the extension and must not let the balance drop below ฿400,000 for the duration of the year. This confusion often arises because different policies are perceived differently; ensure to clarify any misunderstandings regarding the visa and extension terms.
