What are the requirements for extending a Non-O visa in Thailand, and is it common to pay extra fees for paperwork?

Rok ********

If I were you I would pay 2000 without hesitation. The rest of us who cannot verify income must deposit and KEEP there 800,000 baht on a Thai bank account. Doing the extension yourself you are also additionally making substantial savings.
