You will be getting an Extension of Stay not an in country issued Retirement Visa. A Retirement Visa needs the 800k to show as an international transfer whereas an EoS does not, terminology is key.

I got my retirement Non-O a few months ago and didn't come across that

@Roger ******
what you don't understand is that when in Thailand you will be applying for a 12 month "extension of Stay", not a Visa

@David *******
no extension costs 10k, they are all 1900B and the OP can only get a 30 day extension on the 60 day exempt entry stamp

This is for money leaving your account not incoming deposits

@Mark *******
The Non-OA lasts one year but if planned properly you can get almost 2 years in Thailand from it

@Carla ******
You don't need the banked 800k if your Embassy still does the income affidavit, what nationality is your passport?

You should have got a Non-O retirement Visa not a Tourist Visa, that would have made things much easier for you
