To obtain a 12-month extension for your Non-O visa in Thailand, you should follow these steps: 
1. Upon arriving in Thailand, obtain a Thai SIM card registered under your passport.
2. Visit your local immigration office to acquire a residence certificate and a list of specific requirements for the extension.
3. Open a Thai bank account (it is advisable to select one that is 'farang friendly').
4. Deposit 800,000 Baht into this account and ensure it has remained for at least 60 days before applying for the extension.
5. After the required duration, return to the immigration office with all necessary documents and pay the fee of 1,900 Baht. It's crucial to complete these steps within 90 days of arriving in Thailand.

Brandon ************ · Answer

You go to your immigration office in Thailand and ask them for the handout of requirements for the 1-year extension.  You need to get this list from your specific immigration office, as they all set their own requirements.

At the minimum you're going to need a Thai bank account, so that means once you arrive in Thailand you need to get a Thai phone number, and a residence certificate from immigration.  You'll need both of these for opening a bank account. You need to have the bank account opened and the money transferred within a month of arrival if you have any hope to get the extension.
