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 inquired about renewing their retirement visa early instead of completing the upcoming 90-day reporting. They also asked if the documentation for renewal is the same as the initial application, specifically regarding bank statements showing funds transfer history. Responses indicated that visa renewals can be done 30 days in advance, alongside the 90-day report, and clarified that showing proof of funds can be simplified with twelve months of consecutive transfers rather than requiring the initial bank documents. Additionally, some respondents emphasized confirming the latest requirements with immigration officials.

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.
