I'm planning to convert my METV to a Non-O based on retirement at Chiang Mai immigration. Does anyone know how long my 800K baht needs to seed for? I know it's 3 months for extension but some people say it doesn't need to be seeded that long for the initial non-O. Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The initial application or conversion of a METV to a Non-O visa does not require the 800K baht to be seasoned for any specific duration, as long as the funds are transferred from abroad with appropriate bank documentation. However, for an extension based on retirement, the funds need to be maintained for a period of at least 2 months prior to the application and for 3 months afterward.
