Hello fellow 1 year extension non-o retirees in Bangkok. I need to do my first 1 year extension following a one year extension on a non-immigrant O retirement visa. Any new issues or requirements anyone has run in to recently? I remember doing my one year extension last year was very easy and to the point so wondering if anyone has had any positive or negative experiences recently they would like to share to help reduce any variables to my next visit. Thank you so much to all in the best visa (and more) help group there is!

Nothing had changed for me last week. What is of enormous help is if you get your immigration Officer to write down in Thai what they require from your bank. Your bank will then be able to provide it without an issue. It is quicker uf you download the forms and complete them before you go. Tgeg wanted a copy of tm30 and 90 day report from me which wasnt on their list but I had it anyway.

Yes sir I agree with you; my point being that this office had previously not asked for the 12 months statement.

 I went to Immigration 5 days before my extension expired. Got lucky to be served by an I.O. acquainted with my wife. I didn’t have 12 months statement but the IO seemed to be overlooking this detail until her jolly supervisor intervened. I then went to BKK bank but they could only provide 6 months statement, 12 months would require 7 days. Back to Immigration with 6 months statement and I am 10K bht poorer but got my extension.

 The IO that my wife was acquainted with. We usually give her something for prompt and courteous service, this time we stepped up to 1K for helping urge her supervisor to allow me to stay in the kingdom!

 well 1k is better than 10k but be careful. Bribing immigration officers can have serious consequences.

 Si Racha office now requires 12 months bank transaction report in addition to bank book and bank letter. I was lucky to get my extension approved.

 I dont understand the point you are trying to make. They always want 12 months of bank statements verified by bank letter to make sure you have fulfilled the financial requirements of your last extension and the one you are applying for. It is my 4th extension and this time they wanted a copy if my bank book. Another requirement is that your bank book should show a transaction on the day you apply.

Hmmm I asked for personal experience in my question. If every answer was like the ones given here this page wouldn’t exist. It would be called “visa questions: just go to your local immigration and don’t ask any more questions”.

Only the local immigration can give you the latest requirements because every province has its own requirements. This is the only and best advice that actually can be given
