Good day, Everyone !

One of my family member just renewed his passport, and we are going to extend retirement visa for another year soon .

Because usually he is using the monthly income/pension to extend yearly visa, but this year we decide to use bank deposit to extend visa for our first time . 800k already in bank for last 10 months.

My question:

1: Bank Letter MUST issued in the same day when we apply for extension?

2: He updated his bank book, but do we still need get 12 months bank statement from Bangkok bank ?

3: We prepared : Passport copy, TM 30 , Last 90 days report , passport size photo, Letter from Embassy (changed passport), bank book update 800k , Bank letter (soon) , healthy insurance (may not need, but we do have). Is there any documents we still missing?

Thanks for your time and suggestion. Wishing everyone a great Friday!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shares their process for extending a retirement visa in Thailand using a bank deposit for the first time. They ask specific questions regarding the requirements for a bank letter, the necessity of a 12-month bank statement, and if any additional documents are needed for the application. They prepare important documents such as passport copy, TM 30, 90-day report, and proof of funds in the bank. The comments suggest contacting the local immigration office for updated requirements, and the user later confirms successful visa extension.

As there is no mention about the region where you have to apply, best option is to contact your local Immigration Office and ask for the hand out with requirements,

There are small changes, like hand drawn map or google map, depending on office.

At Chaengwattana the bank letter can be up to 7 days old BUT they will want a print out of the last 6 months of detail transactions <- to show that the funds were in the account the last two months and it doesn't need to be dated any specific date, just get it printed when you pick up the bank letter

Make sure you UPDATE the passbook the date you apply so it shows the balance on that date
