Does Immigration Accept THB 800K Seeding Money in a Foreign Currency Account?
Does Immigration accept the THB800K seeding money to be held in a Thai bank Foreign currency account?
Answer summary
The acceptance of THB 800,000 in a foreign currency account for visa applications like the Non-O Thai Wife extension seems to vary by local immigration offices in Thailand. Some users reported successful acceptance of such funds, but it's recommended to check directly with your local immigration office due to differing requirements. Additionally, it's important to have the funds in the account for at least two months before the application date and to be cautious of exchange rates.

You ask about the 800.000 Thb but refer on Extension of Stay based on marriage which is 400.000 Thb in a bank.
As the more than 70 Immigration Offices in the country has slightly different views on the rules, best option is to confirm with them if a foreign currency is allowed.
But go on time as the money has to be 2 months prior application date into the Thai bank account.

Ask your local Thai Immigration office.
With 70+ offices their requirements may differ and often do.
That way you will know for sure.

They accept my Foreign Currency Account for the Non-O Thai Wife extension. So I would assume they will for retirement extension.
Be cautious of the exchange rate though.
And, for me, I could only get the bank Letter dated the same as my application day at the main branch of BKK Bank, which was a bit of a pain.
