Hi group. I am almost done with my 1 year extension based on being 50 and having 800+ k on a saving account.

Came back to Thailand early october on a 30 day exemption

Extended the 30 days at CW on October 18

Applied for the « over 50 » yearly extension on that day.

Got visit from IO 10 days later at home

Back to CW on November 6 to pick up passport: got stamped until Jan 15 (see photo)

Flying to Europe on Dec 17 so would like to get the 1 year extension early next week.

800 k have not been touched since late July.

Am i correct to assume that I should get it if going to CW with just updated bank paperwork on 11 or 12? 

(Hoping that this time, I used the correct wording)

Thanks for your patience and support 🤗🙏🏻

You will need almost the exact same documentation you used to apply for the Non-O 90 day visa you got now,

From the stamp you posted; you can apply for the yearly extension any time AFTER the 2nd of Dec as long as your funds are in the account for 2 months before you apply.

Bank letter, update the bank book on the day you arrive, copies of the bank book, the relevant pages from your passport, filled out TM7 application form. TM30 receipt, hand drawn map to your house, etc

They also wanted a copy of my bank book page showing account number and name.

you can apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay 45 days before the Admitted until day, so i would say you are good to go. Same documents as you used for the visa and indeed updated bank letters and bank book, Good luck
