Mark Dubnansky asked  

I am planning on returning to Thailand in early January, entering on a  US exemption. I want to obtain a non-o retirement visa. Do I need to  transfer my 800,000 to my Thai account in November? I had thought I read  “seasoning” was not required for initial application but seems this says differently?

and if you noticed in that other post you commented in; I said they needed the 800K baht seasoned for their YEAR EXTENSION, not to get the 90 day non-O visa 😉

EVERYONE needs to have the banked money in the account for 2 months before you get the yearly extension. It's immigration office specific if you need the banked money seasoned 2 months to apply for the initial 90 day Non-O visa

totally depends on the immigration office you use. In Bangkok they do not require the 800K baht banked money to be seasoned at all to apply for the 90 day Non-O visa, just in your account transferred in from abroad on the date you apply BUT other offices DO require you to have the funds seasoned (Jomtien specifically)
