60 day extension requirements for non o Thai child
I understand the plan and it's an option. You could also a consider a mix with other options such as a METV. Seems you only have approx a year or so till you turn 50 and can apply for Non O (retirement) The Non O retirement is good option as does not involve Thai child or mother.

Onward Ticket Required? For Visa Exempt .
As per your usual nonsense you have no idea. I pointed out that there are options. METV being one example. An agent is not required and can be obtained eVisa prior to entry to Thailand.

Onward Ticket Required? For Visa Exempt .
As pointed out above. On the TDAC the onward flight is not required field. Back to your point re the OP is onward flight required. Yes. Required by airline at departure. Not by immigration upon arrival. Like yourself my first several years in Thailand with extensions retirement I flew every month to Vietnam. To obtain boarding pass at Saigon I was asked everytime to show reentry permit or visa or onward flight.

need reliable info on current requirements for retirement "visa"
You can obtain a Non O retirement from a visa exempt entry. Fortunately you have a Thai bank account in place. Most likely you will require 800k in Thai bank account on day of application. Assume your embassy does not provide "income letter" You apply for the Non O with minimum of 15 days remaining on permission of stay. The 800k needs to be shown as international transaction. The exception is if the funds have been in Thai bank for "some time" The Non O provides a 90 day stamp. In the last 30 days with funds having been in bank for 2 months you can obtain a 12 month extension.

need reliable info on current requirements for retirement "visa"
Which immigration office. This thread has advice and posts with links to other threads. Read them. https://aseannow.com/topic/1331945-documents-for-changing-visa-exempt-to-non-immig-o-at-cw/ Most likely you do not have a tourist visa but rather entered Thailand visa exempt. Part of the application will be TM87. For extension based on income you would need to show 12+ months of 65k min. Also immigration may insist on funds in bank method (800k) for first extension

Non-O visa (marriage) questions
Not being picky... Point is you keep typing TR visa extension. If you had a tourist visa, you would be obtaining the 30 day extension at CW. Most likely you entered visa exempt (you don't have a visa) With a visa exempt entry you obtain the 30 day extension at Lak Si immigration (IT Mall)

Changing from an NON-OA to a NON-O IMMIGRANT VISA
That is correct however OP did not mention being married. As a result has good reason to kill off the Non O-A in order to not require insurance

Changing from an NON-OA to a NON-O IMMIGRANT VISA
Indeed. Actually FTT is a code specific to BBL. I'm actually doing my extension tomorrow and will do a report. CW By asking for the 12 month bank statement in Thai language the transfer has Thai script. The attached section of statement with red marking and the other pic shows translation. Verifying foreign transfer.

Non-O visa (marriage) questions
Just be aware of two things. Some immigration offices have stopped issuing both 30 day extension + 60 to visit family. Some vague excuse related to change in visa exempt entry from 30 to 60. Point two.. If you obtain both the 30 day extension needs to be obtained first. Best discuss with your immigration office. BTW : You mention tourist visa. At a guess you have visa exempt entry.

Online appointment extend visa Lak Si. How does it work?
Don't follow. The standard acknowledgement forms plus couple of new ones are handed out at various/all immigration offices. Along with the standard forms such as TM7, TM8 etc etc. Immigration sould supply these forms.

Non-O visa (marriage) questions
Normally that wouldn't be an issue, however you are not even married at this point. After marriage you would be able to apply for 60 day extension to visit wife. That would just buy time. Regards banking side of things.. Correct answer in first reply. Actually I just did mine for extension later this week. 100b for Bank Letter. You would also obtain 3 month bank statement. Note the 400k does not require seasoning. If you obtain the Non O at CW then that is where you would apply for the 12 month exextension. Plan B would be to obtain the Non O eVisa at somewhere like Vientiane. Flight to KK and few days in Vientiane would achieve that.

Update Bank book for Extension CW
So annual extension retirement is due. CW like to see update on the day of application and that also shows activity in the account. I previously achieved this with a small 100b deposit Kasikorn. Sadly they have closed the branch at CW. Would this work.... on day of application do a small withdrawal from ATM and obtain a print out receipt? Unrelated but may be useful to others regarding how transactions are coded from abroad. Threads on credit advice. I just now obtained 12 month bank statement. Requested in Thai language. See attachment. The Thai script next to my monthly transfers state "funds(money) from abroad" according to the Thai gf.

"Bank Statements" Question in Non-O Application From US
What part don't you understand. Currently to obtain a Non O in Thailand you need a Thai bank account. To obtain a Thai bank account you need a Non O. It's a catch 22 situation. Currently you will not be able to open Thai bank account from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. Years ago it was common place to open bank account from tourist status. That's no longer the case. Bottom line : obtain the Non O from outside of Thailand (eVisa) For anyone interested in current banking rules here is very clear video. Check out this video from this search, open thai bank account foreigner https://share.google/byrjODYUSFq4xpssM

"Bank Statements" Question in Non-O Application From US
Read the thread and my post again. It's more about being able to open a Thai Bank account from visa exempt entry. Currently even French will not be able to open Thai Bank account from visa exempt entry. So ain't you clever. Everyone is not French and can obtain embassy income letter. Not only USA but include UK, AU, and more recently Canadian and many others do not provide that doc. The OP is USA. Your post is smug and off topic
