Currently on Extension based on Retirement - Bangkok - and on rental - 

Purchasing a unit would mean that as of February 2026 i wont be tenant with rental contract ans rather owner of my own unit - 

At yearly extension in May 26 how does it work? 

Which papers / documentation should be shown. ? 

TIA

Answer summary

The user is currently on a retirement visa extension in Bangkok and plans to purchase a unit, asking about the process for visa renewal after becoming a property owner. Comments suggest that upon purchasing the property, the user should promptly update their address with immigration and file a new TM30 form for notification of residence. Additionally, they should update their bank details and present their title deed when applying for the next visa extension.

From the moment you complete your home ownership papers are the only ones you should use- go to Immigration to file your new address as soon as its yours - even if you dont yet live there

you are obliged to inform the government of any change of address independently of anything to do with visas . Its part of your 90 reporting cycle, not visa application. I've just done it myself.

ok yes i understand that - so which counter ? i never do 90days reporting since I never stay more than 65 or 70 days - eventually i would move in my own unit in January and will travel latest mid February - how would that work?

Don't forget to change your adress at your bank. It will takes you 30 minutes and showing evidence

Once you move, you will go file a new TM30 (notification of foreigner in residence) form showing you moved to a new address

You will then do 90 day reporting at that new address until your extension too

Then when you go to get the next extension you will show the chanote (title deed) of the place you're buying showing you live there.

That should do it
