Thailand Visa Non-O Visa Retirement Visa Visa Extension Bank Account Requirements Regarding TM-30 Fund Seasoning

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everybody; I have applied in usa for a 90 day non-o retirement Visa. My first question is regarding timing. If I register my address upon arrival (TM-30) and then open up Thai bank account and deposit ฿800,000 I have to let the funds “season” for 60 days. ￼ then I’m told i can apply for a one year extension. But I read somewhere that you’re supposed to apply 30-

45 days before your 90 day visa expires. Is this true? And if so, what do I do about it? The math doesn’t work. 

Second question is regarding transferring funds. If I use Wise, will it show up as a foreign transfer? Is this important? ￼￼￼

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time and trouble to respond.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarity on the timing and requirements for applying for a one-year extension of their 90-day Non-O retirement visa after depositing ฿800,000 in a Thai bank account. They are confused about the 60-day seasoning period for funds and the recommended application timeframe (30-45 days before visa expiration). Community answers clarify that the funds need to be seasoned for 2 calendar months, with applications allowed up to 45 days before the visa expires. However, applying on the last day is not advisable. Additionally, the source of funds does not have to be foreign.

The seasoning of 800k must be 2mths not 60days example 05june bankin and apply only after 05aug....the earliest to do 1yr extension is 45-30days before 90days expiry (depending on some office) ...you can do your 1yr extension on the very last day (not recommended) just in case u missed some docs ....its better to do the extension 1 or 2 weeks before your expiry

The funds need to be seasoned for 2 calendar months not 60 days.

You can apply up to 45 days prior in some offices but as you know the funds wouldn’t have seasoned for long enough. Fortunately you can apply right up until the last day of your stamp (but this is absolutely not recommended).

Apply a week or so ahead and you should be fine.
