TLDR : Answer Summary

To obtain the initial 90-day Non-O visa using the 800,000 baht bank deposit method, it is necessary to prove that the funds originated from overseas when applying at some immigration offices, like Bangkok and Hua Hin. However, most other offices do not require such proof for the 90-day Non-O visa based on retirement. For the yearly extension of the Non-O visa, only a 2-month seasoning of the funds is necessary, with no requirement to prove the origin of the funds.

If you are using 800K baht banked money method to get the initial 90 day Non-O visa inside the country at the Hua Hin immigration office you have to prove the funds originated from abroad 😮 . You ask your bank for papers from the transfers.

Most other offices do not have the proof of overseas funds origin requirements for the 90 day Non-O based on retirement

There is no proof of funds origin for using the 800K baht banked money method to get the year extension, only the 2 months seasoning rule

but you still need to maintain the 65k per month until you get your new extension as well as seasoning the 800k

Thank you kindly. I have been using the

a month method for at least 8 years. Does that mean I am seasoned already. My wife is selling some land and I would switch to pay off cc debt in the states.

nope. .. what it means is if you're switching to banked money method you'd need to have the 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for your next extension. There is no requirement to show it came from overseas

Then once you get that extension issued you need to leave the 800K baht in the bank for 3 months and then the balance can't go below 400K the rest of the year
