Good Morning all,
I have a Non-Immigrant O-A multiple entry I year visa.
The visa expires 3rd September 2018.
I'm getting ready to submit an application for extension based on Retirement.
My research has indicated I need to submit the following with my application.
1. File a TM7 extension of stay form
2. Show evidence of income. In my case I can show Australian Government pension Monthly income from military well in excess of the 65, 000thb
required.
3. Pay 1900THB fee
4. 2 passport size photos Im in Saraburi
5. Hand drawn map to my residence
6. Original passport with signed photocopies of each page, two sets.
As this group appears to contain some really knowledgeable members I would appreciate feedback as to the above requirements.
Specifically how long before the 3rd September 2018 visa expiry should I submit the application to SARABURI Immigration?
My next 90 report is due 20th August 2018
I can prove address as they already know that from my 90 day reports. Also I have a Thai Drivers License and my AIS phone bill is sent to my address too.
I appreciate your time reading this.
Thanks.
