What are the requirements for applying and extending a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand?
I am confused about the "mixed" option on retirement visa. Regarding on monthly income plus bank deposit.
If I apply Non-O from my country, it gives me 90 days, right?
Then I can extend that for 1 year?
How can I show monthly income, for 12 months, when I have only been in country for 2 months, when applying for extension?
Also, when renewing the non-o, how do they count the monthly income, transferred to thai bank account?
Is it summed up yearly, no matter about the monthly amount?
As far as I understand, it should be counted as yearly income, combined with the amount deposited in bank account.
Have I understood even closely correctly?

Answer summary
The user is seeking clarification on the requirements for applying for a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand, specifically regarding the mixed option of proving financial stability through monthly income and bank deposits. They are confused about how to demonstrate a consistent monthly income when they have only been in the country for two months and about the financial documentation required for extending their visa. Responses indicate that the user cannot apply the monthly income method for the first extension due to insufficient time in the country and must either show a deposit of 800,000 THB in their Thai bank account or obtain an affidavit of income from the Finnish embassy to meet the financial requirements.

You can’t use the monthly 65,000 baht transfer method for your first yearly extension as you haven’t been in the country long enough to satisfy that option. You have either to meet the 800k baht into your Thai bank account option (your name only) OR get an affidavit from the Finnish embassy (if they actually agree to provide it) showing that you meet the monthly income option in Finland.

Check with the Finland embassy if they issue an affidavit. If they do, you cannot use monthly bank transfers or combination methods to meet the funds requirements.

thank you for your helpful reply.Ellie *******
If they do, you need to use that affidavit or full (800k thb) banked money method.
You cannot use the international transfer record of 1 year from the bank to prove you meet the financial requirement.

Good Luck to you in your return to Thailand as retired.AND as your added question about the difference between the OA visa and O Visa requirements...ask your Thai Embassy in Finland.
There are differences and we will NOT try to explain them.
Easily to do for yourself by comparing the Visa requirements for Each Visa on the Finland Thai Embassy website.
You can read more about the OA visa and Non O Visa for retirement...
I have posted on your post
Topics of the
...OA visa home country
...And the Non O Visa.
CLICK on them and all posts regarding the topics will pop up to read.

you are confused.IF the Finland Embassy in Bangkok will provide you with the affidavit of income... then take it to the Thai immigration office and that will get you the One year extension of stay...NO FUNDS ARE REQUIRED TO BE DEPOSITED IN THAILAND

OP@James *******
Yeah! :)James ********
@Jarqco ***********
finally got it ...Jarkko *********
OP@James *******
That's what I was asking for!! Thank you! 😃James ********
You must show proof of a 800,000 Thai baht deposit in a Thai bank account in your name only ...and must show proof of it being transferred internationally to your bank account in Thailand.
For you to get visa as retired...
You must have proof of 65,000 monthly transfered to your Thai bank account in your name only for the 12 prior months before application for the visa.
As you state you haven't been in Thailand long. That way is not possible to use for your FIRST year

As far as I know...I can apply Non-O from Thai embassy in Finland. Showing combined income for 800K.James ********
@Jarqco ***********
I suggest you get the Non O Visa as retiree from your home country Thai Embassy...ENTER THAILAND with it...
90 days stamped in on arrival...
Go to your Thai immigration office and ask them for their requirements for the One year extension of stay as retired.

OP@James *******
That's what I have been talking about..James ********
@Jarqco ***********
ask your Finland Embassy in Bangkok IF they provide you an affidavit of income to file with Thai immigration showing you meet the 800,000 Thai baht annual income requirements for the one year extension of stay as retired.IF they do...then submit the Embassy prepared affidavit of income to Thai immigration with your one year extension of stay application as retired.
Jarkko *********
OP@James *******
Ok. Thank you for this. 😉 I think Fin still get that affidavid.James ********
@Jarqco ***********
that will get you the Non O Visa as retiree and on arrival into Thailand you will get stamped in for 90 days.To get the One year extension of stay as retired...Will require PROOF of your international deposit of 800,000 Thai baht bank into your Thai bank account in your name only.
Jarkko *********
OP@James *******
Why not?James ********
@Jarqco ***********
correct. A combo of income and deposits will NOT be accepted for the One year extension of stay.Jarkko *********
OP@James *******
Is that true? So if I get let's say *****
thb / month and have the rest deposited in my thai bank account, that is not enough?James ********
Ask your Thai immigration office for it's list of requirements for the Non O Visa as retiree and the One year extension of stay as retired.

OP@James *******
I have seen that pic, you posted. It does not help. Are there really so much differences between the immigration offices? I have lived in thailand before, but on a marriage visa. Now divorced but eligible for retirement visa. I'd just hate to sell everything (again) before being assured about the requirements, when inside the country.Jarkko *********
OPYou don't get my point. I have no problem, getting the non-o. Just wondering about the way, immigration will do the math later with "deposits from abroad"
Jarkko *********
OP@James *******
I know. That's why I posted this question. But still I have shown the documents of income in Finland, in order to get the Visa...James ********
@Jarqco ***********
not realistically possible as you have ONLY been in Thailand two monthsJarkko *********
OP@James *******
Yes! So how can I show income from 12 months, when I apply for my first extension, after 2 months in country? (When coming in with non-o, 90 days)James ********
@Jarqco ***********
they must show as One 800,000 Thai baht transfer or 12 - 65,000 Thai baht deposits transferred internationally to your Thai bank accountJames ********
@Jarqco ***********
there's a few variances among Thai immigration offices...BUT you will have to be able to show PROOF of the 12 months of international transfer of 65,000 Thai baht monthly into your Thai bank account in your name only.
