I have a question related to applying for the first time extension for the purpose of retirement. I will enter Thailand using Non-O Visa and I intend to apply the extension around 45 days before the visa expires. Would the required 800K deposit have to be transferred from abroad or showing existing funds in Thailand is sufficient? I intend to apply at Chaengwattana Office. Thank you for all the answers.

I'm a bit confused. I extended my non-O visa last month. At the time I switched the basis for my status from trailing spouse to 800K deposit. The officer gave me a new 90 day reporting slip, good through April, starting from my new extension, and pulled out the old extension through February 28 from my passport. He said he could do that since I changed my status.

The other day I got an email telling me to make sure that I do my 90 day extension by February 28! What should I believe?
