If you got a 60 day Visa Exempt entry last time you will get the same, do nothing, no Visa needed.

800k before applying for your extension and for 3 months after the extension was granted i.e. up to first 90 day report. Then it cannot drop below 400k for the remaining 9 months of the 12 month extension. If using the 800k method again for the subsequent extension then back to 800k 2 months before applying but many use the 65k monthly transfers from year 2 onwards by starting these monthly transfers the same time the 800k seasoning started for the first extension.

Not all Immigration Offices accept the 40k monthly transfers so it needs to be planned carefully

The main differences for the initial Non-O and then the subsequent extension is that the retirement route requires less documentation bur the financial requirement is higher. Retirement is often the preferred choice foor this reason and also your Visa status is entirely based on you being over 50 and not still being in a legal marriage.

You may need copies of every entry stamp in your passport (you will definitely need a copy of your current entry stamp)

What do you mean by "as wasn't branch opened account originally" - do you mean you requested it at another branch? If this was for your first 12 month extension then you cannot use the 65k transfer method anyway, you must have 800k seasoned for 2 months as the British Embassy does not issue the income affidavit.

Yes, it is a risk following your previous warnings as airline tickets can be changed so this is how your departure flight could be seen. It is no guarantee that you will indeed leave Thailand well within the 60 days.
