I was refused my first retirement extension at Ubonratchathani immigration. I was using the combo, money in bank 650k+, combined with income from a work pension. The reason for refusal was that I do not have 65k per month coming into my Thai bank. I have only been receiving my pension for 4 months, and the deposits do vary, but enough to reach the 800k requirement. I was told that they are no longer doing the combined method. I was advised that I would need to top my account up to the 800k and start the process again by traveling to Loa and obtain a new non-o visa. I would then need to keep the 800k in the bank or show income of 65k per month for further extensions.

Thanks for all the input and advice guys. To be safe "hopefully" I have transferred in GBP direct from my Halifax account to my Thai account, even though I have lost some money this way. In the future, I will consider Transferwise though.

Having at last arrived in Thailand in the last few days, I today opened a Thai bank account and am now ready to transfer funds from my UK bank (Halifax) to my Thai account. I am currently on SETV and intend to change to O visa in a month or so. I notice that one of the requirements for this is proof of foreign currency transfer. If I use Transferwise for the funds transfer, will this show the necessary proof, or would I be better to transfer direct from my UK bank?

That depends on where you apply. Certainly in the past, no onward flight was needed for an SETV in the UK.
No problem, I will just book a cheap flight somewhere if needed.

Ok got it, thanks. Would i need some form of onward travel proof when i arrive on tourist visa?

You will apply at the designated office for where you are living.
General requirement for the visa application is here: https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_80 There may additional requirements dependent upon where you apply.
Ok, thanks. I just wanted to be clear on that, as there is a lot of reference about Bangkok in similar posts.

No, i would need to be 65 or over to get non O in UK.

I intend to come to Thailand within the next 45days. I am 56 year old UK male, engaged to but not married to a Thai lady. I understand that my 2 options for retirement visa are as follows. 1) Obtain a OA visa from the Thai embassy in London before travelling to Thailand. Or 2) Come to Thailand on a 60 day tourist visa, then apply for the 90 day O visa inside Thailand, with the intention to apply for the 1year extension of stay based on retirement. Am I correct that if I take option 2 above, the application for changing tourist visa to O visa has to be done at the immigration office for the area I am living in. and not at Bangkok?
Regards.
Tony.
