I'm just answering the question as asked and giving the Immigration requirements

The retirement/over 50 visa (which requires 800k) only needs the funds in your account from an international transfer at the time of the Non-O application (except Jomtien). The 2 months seasoning is required for the 12 month extension.

The first year it's either funds in the bank or income affidavit where still available

@Mike *******
The extension is 12 months by meeting the financial requirements or maybe 60 days for those with Thai family (wife or child)

Few Immigration Offices now require the TM28 so check with yours

Personally I'd do the Non-O so no need to visit Immigration and no requirement for proof of onward travel

Usually you will need a residence certificate from Immigration to open a bank account (hotel address is fine)
