At this stage, base any plans on 30 days. The TAT is pushing for an extension until the end of the year, but some reports are saying immigration is pushing back against it. Ultimately it's a MFA decision, but as Jo has suggested, any announcement will be at the last minute.

Is it necessary to show monthly transfers to a Thai bank account when renewing a one-year OA Retirement visa with a minimum balance of 800,000 THB?

@Graham *****

Yes but his question had nothing to do with insurance, it was about transferring/showing money in a Thai bank account. I was advising on his question. You sort of jumped in and went off at a tangent. Always best to stick to the original question.

You're missing the point. Insurance has to be obtained whether doing in-country extension OR border bounce. The difference is border bounce requires ZERO money in Thai bank account

Ok, that's money in the bank. Not required for border bounce if visa is still current

Insurance is needed for an in-country extension too, so no difference. Border bounce means no money need be transferred. And it's 3m baht, not 12

If you have an OA and it's still valid, just do a border bounce and you'll be stamped in for another year. No bank account required

The OP asked for options. Having a Thai child is one such option. I know people who have done this just to remain in Thailand. And yes, I know they're stupid, but that's life
