ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, I’m on a retirement visa and my first renewal date is 22nd Sept 2025. I’ve been doing my 90 reporting online but my next one I’d due 15th Sept only a week before my visa renewal. Can I just renew my non O visa early instead of doing the 90 day report? 

Also, do I need the same documents for the renewal as when I first applied for my retirment visa, including the bank document showing the 800k came from the UK or is that not necessary anymore just 12 months statements? TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, holding a retirement visa, inquired about renewing their visa ahead of their upcoming 90-day report. They wanted to know if they could skip the report by renewing early and what documentation would be necessary for the visa renewal. Responses clarified that they could indeed renew their visa 30 days before expiration while still fulfilling the 90-day reporting requirement. Furthermore, it was confirmed that showing proof of 12 months of consecutive money transfers from abroad sufficed, eliminating the need to maintain the full 800,000 baht in their Thai bank account, as long as it was there for the required two months prior to renewal.

You can apply for an extension 30 days in advance and don't have to show the money comes from overseas, but you do need to have the required 800k baht in your thai bank account for 2 full calendar months before you apply for the extension. You can do your 90 day report at the same time,

You can usually renew your extension of stay 30 days in advance, so yes you should definitely do that as the time is added on.

You need the letter from the bank and the requirements might have changed since last time, so go to immigration and get their latest list.

You can apply for your extension minimum 30 days prior to expiration and do your 90 days report 15 days before and 7 days after due date, so it’s no issue to do both while you apply for your extension.

If you can show proof of minimum twelve months consecutive transfers of min 65K baht from abroad, you don’t need any funds in your account anymore for applying. You need a bank statement and a standard bank letter from your bank regarding this.
