Time to renew the non O retirement visa.
This is the list I've had for a while, wondering if there's been any changes other than the TM6 no longer being required ... ?
1. Passport with Non Immigrant O Visa inside.
2. Photocopies of:
•photo page of passport,
•page showing visa,
•page showing last entry date into Thailand.
3. TM.7 (extension of stay form completed and signed). Attach a passport photo and include phone number by your signature.
4. ~~Departure Card (TM.6) (make a photocopy)~~
5. 2 passport size photos
6. Proof of funds and or proof of income (letter from bank/embassy).
Bank letter cannot be more than 3 days old.
If using the lump sum application route, you'll need an updated photocopy of your bank book page that shows the balance.
Take your bank book along too.
7. Proof of address (copies of rental agreement, and utility bills (if you have them))
8. Application fee of ฿1,900 THB
*Sign all photocopies.
You have the option to renew your Thai retirement visa within 45 days of its expiry date. Nevertheless, it is generally advisable to submit your application between 3 and 4 weeks before the visa expires.
TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand, you need to prepare the following: passport with the Non-O visa, photocopies of relevant passport pages, a completed TM.7 form with a photo, proof of funds or income, proof of address, 1-2 passport photos, and an application fee of ฿1,900.
