What documentation do I need from my Thai bank for my retirement extension with an $800k THB deposit?

you only have to update your passport the day you go to immigration. If no activity with your bank than it will update with the date and balance

What are the steps for applying for a Tourist Visa to Thailand if married to a Thai national?

@Peter **********

If you board the aircraft in London the check in agents know which countries are visa exempt. You are absolutely wrong this would cause a problem. Either way you will need an onward travel out of Thailand. This could be a problem if Thai immigration ask you for proof of onward travel.

How do I transfer my visa to my new US passport while in Chiang Mai?

When I got a new Belgium passport in Bangkok the embassy gave me a letter explaining why I got a new passport. With this letter and my old and new passports Thai immigration transferred the necessary information.

Can I obtain a driving license for a motorbike in Thailand if my visa expires on 18.09.2022?

David *********

If you do not have a motorcycle licence from your country go to a driving school like Mityon. The course can be done in 6 days and they do all the testing. Just take the paperwork to Land and Transfer office. Course is not expensive

What agency should I use to obtain a retirement visa for Thailand without directly depositing 800,000 THB?

David *********

You should find a Visa Agent and they will look after everything for you. It is more expensive than doing it yourself but everything is looked after. It will cost you up to 30,000 THB. Following years do it yourself.

No problem using your bank outside of Thailand. The important thing is it is an international transfer to your account
