What are the required documents for a non-O retirement visa extension at Surat Thani immigration?

Question

FYO
I went to Surat Thani immigration today for my yearly extension of non o retirement visa..
Documents needed:
Bank statement for last 3 months (obtained today)
Bank letter (obtained today)
TM7
Photocopy of every page in passport and bank book
1 x photo
Hand drawn map of my house
Photocopy of house book
Very helpful staff who informed me if using orange savings book ( Bangkok bank) for proof of funds then bank letter and statement can be a week in advance. If using the blue current account book then the letter and statement must be obtained on the same day. Next year they want a print out from google maps of the residence with longitude and latitude and the hand drawn map plus 2 photos of the house.
I know it varies a little from office to office but hopefully this maybe useful for anyone using Surat Thani immigration. 
Happy New Year to all 🙏🏼

Every office want something different, the only way is go and ask what they want before you start putting the application together, make sure they stamp and sign the list.  Make sure you take that list with you, why you go to extend.

I renewed mine in Hua Hin this week. Usually a walk in the park, but this time around they sent me away because my bank letter & statement were three days old! Went back to the bank and had them re-done and then ran over to Immigration.

Huge variation from “office to office”. Where you are, they no like farang, me I’m a huge minority. Everything is easy.

In Bangkok they require at least a full year bank statement....

Bankbook needs to be updated with a transaction same day. Copy of this and bring bankbook.

Thank you for your helpful report 👍

It's good you now have the one year extension of stay as retired.

Members.... please Note THIS is a report of the SURAT THANI Thai Immigration office.

What happens elsewhere may not be the same.....as you need to meet the requirements for the one year extension of stay as retired, as stated by YOUR LOCAL Thai Immigration office.
