TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on visa options after their 60-day COVID visa extension expires. They currently hold a Non-O dependent visa but lack the financial resources for a one-year extension. Key advice includes: 1. Apply for the COVID extension before the September 26 deadline. 2. Explore the option of applying for a Family Visit extension if not previously used. 3. If unable to meet financial criteria for a long-term stay, consider transitioning to an Education Visa or returning home to apply for a new Non-O visa. Furthermore, upon returning to Thailand post-medical leave, they will need to check quarantine requirements based on their vaccination status.

Okay, if all you're doing is buying time until you go back to your country, go get the 60 day covid extension. That will buy you TWO months more of stay with out meeting any financial requirements.

As far as what will be what when you come back, no one can say other than watch the news, see if they change the entry requirements.

You said you're here on a 90 day Non-O dependent visa <- meaning you are the father of a thai child, BUT you don't mention if you're married to the mother or not and instead ask about the retirement option <- that requires 800K baht in the bank not 400k.

I'd say buy the time you need until you go back to your country, get a NEW Non-O visa before you come back and have a game plan on how to meet the requirements so you can get a long term extension of stay.
