Non-imm O from home country to seek extension based on retirement.On arrival,stamped in for 90 days.When can the first extension be applied for and when must funds be deposited in a bank account to satisfy the seasoning rules?
Answer summary
Upon arrival in Thailand on a Non-imm O visa, you are stamped in for 90 days. You can apply for your first extension 30 to 45 days before your Admitted to Stay date. To satisfy the bank seasoning rules, funds must be in a Thai bank account in your name for at least 2 months before the application date. Therefore, to stay within the timeline, it's recommended to deposit the required funds within 23 days of arrival.

So to realistically allow a 7 day leeway when applying for first extension ,funds must be deposited within 23 days of arrival 23+60+7=90.

Here's the english wording from the current police order
********
about extensions based on being over 50 (retirement) and banked money

(4) On the filing date, the applicant must have funds deposited in a bank in Thailand of no less than Baht 800,000 for the past three months.

For the first year only, the applicant must have proof of a deposit account in which said amount of funds has been maintained for no less than 60 days prior to the filing date.

@Dana ******
you are incorrect :/

There is NO such thing as a 30 day extension on a Non-O visa :(

AND

For the first yearly extension the money needs to be seasoned in the account for ONLY for 60 DAYS.

It's every yearly extension after the one year where it has to be seasoned in the account for 3 months.

Be careful, the money must be on your Thai account (either in THB or in major foreign currencies) for 3 months prior to the "360-D-Extension" of a "Non-Immigrant-O". If you are short of time to do this, you van always extend your current "Non-O" visa for 30 days (1'900 Baths) to give you more time.

Thank you Robert.So in the given 90 days a bank account has to be opened and the funds transferred from foreign account .With regard to the 2 months seasoning,what is the latest day that the first extension can be applied for?
Robert *******
Robert *******
Latest day is your Admitted to Stay date, but if your application is not in order that means you have to leave the same day. Go earlier to make sure you have all the documents correct.

Some offices 45 days before and other 30 days before your Admitted to Stay date stamped in your passport. The money has to be 2 months prior the application date on a Thai bank account in your name.
