ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The bank deposit requirement for Thai visas, specifically 800,000 THB for a retirement visa or 400,000 THB for a non-immigrant O visa, must be held in a Thai bank account in your name if you are applying or extending your visa while in Thailand. However, if you are applying from outside Thailand, you can use a bank account from your home country, as long as it is also in your name.
