Do I need to maintain an 800,000 baht balance before applying for a subsequent Non-O retirement visa extension?

Ellie *******

, do you mean during "rest of the year" of retirement extension? Logically, you will not meet the requirement to apply fo the next 1-year extension as your current extension is invalidated when you fail to keep the balance. You may need to leave and restart whole process from the initial visa again.

Do I need to redo my TM30 when traveling to Pattaya from Khon Kaen?

Ellie *******

Regardless of the local immigration office policy about TM30, you may need updated TM30 to do next 90-day report online.

As you live in your wife's house, you should be able to do TM30 online, too, better to update.
