Before more posts are coming with this new police order: Please discuss on this link on this page: [members only]/

This is the new Police Order about the Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age.

In short as I understand it:

No more affidavits of income from any Embassy.

Evidence of minimum income of 65.000 Thb a month

OR

Minimum 800.000 Thb on a Thai bank account on your name, minimum 2 months prior your application date AND to keep a minimum amount of 800.000 Thb till 3 months after your application date. Than you can withdraw money but a minimum of 400.000 Thb must remain on this account/

OR

Combination of earnings and funds on your Thai bank account of minimum 800.000 Thb in the last year and minimum 800.000 Thb on a Thai bank account on your name 2 months prior your application date AND to keep a minimum amount of 800.000 Thb till 3 months after your application date. Than you can withdraw money but a minimum of 400.000 Thb must remain on this account.
Answer summary
Recent updates to the Thai visa extension rules for individuals over 50 years of age eliminate the requirement for income affidavits from embassies. Applicants must now demonstrate a minimum income of 65,000 THB per month, maintain at least 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account for a minimum of 2 months prior to application, and keep this amount for 3 months post-application, allowing withdrawals down to 400,000 THB. Alternatively, a combination of income and funds can also be used to meet the financial requirements.
