TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Non-O visa based on retirement from abroad, the requirement for bank statements depends on the embassy. Generally, you need to provide three months of bank statements showing that the 800,000 THB equivalent is maintained, but some comments suggest you may be able to transfer the funds into your account during this period. Liquid cash availability is key, and while some have successfully deposited funds and received their visa, experiences vary.

800 3 months though i did 5 months or 8. In country is 3 months. I did marriage but had the $. Deposited 2 months before travel. Checked in at immigration & given 3 months for my non-O. Didn’t touch my Visa account (I have 4 bank accounts).

Its all simple and straightforward. Will do Retirement next time of which all will be the same except 800 instead of 400.

If they ask for a 3 month statement they will expect the required amount to be maintained for the 3 months or they would just ask for a statement with the current balance

They just want to see that you have liquid cash available. It can be recent deposits.

Same issue. Waiting for the sale of my house to go through and want to depart shortly after that so don't want to wait 3 month re bank statement etc. Might just have to arrive on visa except and sort out once there. Nuisance

@Nancy *****
you need an O visa from your Thai embassy first. Without it you can't open a bank account. Without a bank account you can't get your O visa

That will depend on what embassy you are applying at.
