What are the financial requirements for extending a Non-O visa based on retirement in Thailand?

Either 800k once or 65k every month… must be money coming from outside into a Thai bank.

Exception is if your embassy verifies your pension. But be aware that 2000 euros maybe less that baht one day. ;)

If you don't want to open a Thai bank account then get the OA in your home Country, it's good for 2 years with one border bounce

it is absolutely NO HASSLE to get a Thai bank account opened if you enter Thailand on a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa. The banking regulations have been tightened for people who are on touristic entries. However on a Non-O Visaclass, you will be successful even if you try it by yourself. For your own convenience, just buy an agent's service, opening a Thai bank account for you costs around 5000.- THB

. . some Immigrations, even when you use the "affidavit of incomé" as a proof that you meet the 65,000 THB requirement, will insist that you open a Thai bank account and actually transfer your costs of living onto it, coming from abroad. You actually NEED a Thai bank account in the long run if you plan to live in Thailand long term, for your own convenience

***for the application to the 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa in France, you need proof with original documentation of a minimum of 65,000 THB (1850.- Euro) pension/income

***for the application to the 1-year Extension of Stay based on Retirement on Immigration inside Thailand, you need an “income affidavit” legalized by the French Embassy in Bangkok, over a monthly minimum of 65,000 THB income/pension

***Using a Non-Imm-O visa doesn’t require a mandatory health insurance like it is needed on a Non-Imm-O/A visa. However, it is recommended to get an insurance for your stay in Thailand

OR . . . using the “deposit method” as a proof of finances:

*** only if you use the deposit method, for the application to the 90-daysNon-Imm-O visa in France, you need a minimum of 800,000 THB or the equivalent in Euros, in any bank account, anywhere in the World as long as you can prove it is in your name

***then, for the application to the 1-year Extension of Stay based on Retirement, you will have to show Immigration a THAI (!!) bank account in your sole name, with a minimum of 800,000 THB in it, and on the day of the application, the money must have seasoned for a minimum of two months

You can only use your income for extensions in Thailand if your embassy in Thailand does income verification. If not then you need to use the money in the bank.
