TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for the 90-day Non-O visa in Thailand, particularly if you are 50 years or older and applying at an immigration office within the country, you need to have 800,000 THB in a bank account that has been transferred from abroad. Recent changes indicate that this requirement also applies to applicants from their home country, where they need proof of equivalent funds or a guaranteed income affidavit. Thus, having the necessary financial documentation is essential for the visa application process.

The financial requirements for the Non-Imm-O retirement visa got changed about one week ago

if you are applying for the "90 days Non-Imm-O Retirement/over50 visa" in your home country, you

either

need proof of the equivalent of 800,000.- THB in your home currency on any bank account in your name,

or

the proof of income (an income affidavit) from an authority in your country, over a minimum of 65.000.- THB equivalent in your home currency. . .

You are also able to use the combination method, a mix of deposit and income, which must be a minimum of 800,000.- THB yearly

THESE financial requirements for the Application of the E-Visa in your home country have changed, THEY ARE NEW (!!) and have appeared in the E-visa sytem about one week ago. . . . . .

which means, that the financial proof for the application to the visa, now requires the SAME amounts than the applications for the "1-year Extension of Stay" at the Immigration offices inside Thailand . . . . . . . .

So, there are no more surprise moments at Immigrations inside Thailand, because the requirements for the visa in the old days used to be lower, and it wasn't anywhere noted on embassy websites, that they would be higher for the Extensions.

is did this in BKK in March this year and was also required to have the 800k in the bank for the initial 90 day visa. I believe it needs to sit in the bank 60 days prior to applying for the one year extension; so in that case it kinda makes sense to require it at the initial 90 day application.

IF you are applying for a non-O based on being 50 or over and IF you are applying at an immigration office inside of Thailand, then yes, you need the 800k baht in a bank account that was transferred in from overseas to be able to apply.

if the embassy is verifying and certifying that the document is truthful and accurate then immigration will accept it.

If the embassy is just notarizing that you say it's accurate then they probably won't

the initial non-O and first 1 year extension are basically the same. The next year is when you can switch to the monthly deposits if you can't get an embassy income letter.

Are you sure the 800k has to come from overseas? It is clear that they have to be there 2 months in advance, but not sure for the 800 k from overseas

almost every office has this as a requirement to convert to the 90 day non-O visa based on retirement at immigration. Proof the money came from overseas. But it's not required to convert to non-O based on marriage or for the 1 year extension.

with one exception, T Daniels wrote about that: Jomtien doesn't ask for proof the money came from overseas, but they want to see a THREE months seasoning period for the 800,000.- THB, when you apply for the Extension. Racoons!

No. Most offices do not require that. Only a few do.

The 2 months before is the rule for the 1 year extension, but not the initial 90 day visa. Jomtien and a few other offices have this extra requirement though.
