TLDR : Answer Summary
When converting from a 60-day tourist visa to a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand, there are discussions regarding the requirement of the funds to be seasoned for 2 months. While the Jomtien/Pattaya office specifies this requirement, there is uncertainty about its applicability across different regions in Thailand, with some suggesting it may be a national requirement unless a visa agent is employed.

To the best of my knowledge this is a national requirement, unless you employ a visa agent…

The Jomtien/Pattaya office is the only one that requires the money to be seasoned to convert from tourist to non-O.
