TLDR : Answer Summary

When extending a Non-O (retirement) visa in Jomtien, there is no health insurance requirement for the one-year extension. However, you must have 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account in your name or provide a financial statement from your embassy.

But you will need 800k in a Thai bank in your name only brought in from abroad or if your embassy issues a financial statement you can use that

***he is a U.S. citizen (by his profile) so there won’t be an embassy affidavit of income. He will definitely need to use the 800,000 THB deposit method in the first year

***he needs to open a Thai bank account immediately after entering

***there is NO NEED for proof of foreign source for the minimum of 800,000 THB in his Thai bank account when applying for the 1-year EOS

*** for the application to the “1-year extension of stay based on retirement”, he needs proof of a 2-months seasoning, though

that's good to know about the no proof of overseas funding. I've had a bank account for more than 2 years and proving that would be a lot of paperwork. I just added to make it 800k, so will have over 2 months "seasoning"

well the seasoning does start as soon as the deposit is higher than 800,000 THB and never falls below that. It doesn't start when you open the account

I'm saying to prove funded from overseas would take paperwork from almost 3 years of deposits
