ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement of the 800,000 Baht bank deposit for obtaining a one-year extension on a Non-O visa does not necessarily have to be shown as an electronic transfer from outside of Thailand for the annual extension. However, when converting from a tourist visa to a Non-O visa inside Thailand, the deposit must show as a foreign transfer. Additionally, there is an ongoing discussion regarding whether the source of the funds needs to be proved, indicating variability in requirements.
