Hi Group, for Retirement visa renewal if I am using Embassy letter as proof of income do I still need to provide bank statements and update bankbook etc on renewal date?

Secondly does anyone has any tips or advice on visiting the Nonthaburi Immigration Office? I tried getting a check list there but they don't have one and all they said was same as last year but i dealt with another IO last year. I am wondering what their pictures requirement is specifically.

Finally is making an online appointment useful there? I will make one in any case ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

TIA ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

I used the CW office in Bangkok and they were not interested in bank books or income statements. Second time.

The first time they shoved all the banking documents back across the table as soon as she saw the Embassy documents.

Good luck.

I used Nonthaburi last year for retirement extension. You need all the documents as per Bangkok and can also do it from 45 days in advance.

Make an appointment online for early morning and print off 2 copies of the confirmation. Bank book pages photocopied from last 12 months (you need to update bank book on day of appointment) and thereโ€™s no bank close to the office. Bank letter up to 7 days old too.

I'm not sure but it looks like you may be Canadian. If so I heard that as of April 01 they were no longer issuing letters of income. Perhaps you got one before then.

You should go back there and let them see you're passport so they know that you used a different office last year. That should motivate them to give you the requirements

There are no picture requirements for extensions based on retirement at most all offices other than just the 4X6cm one on the TM7 application for extension

You can certainly book an appt but know that some offices don't 'honor' them ๐Ÿ˜ฎ They make you get a queue and wait it out with who ever is already there

One other thing, as you said you dealt with another office last year, you should have done a TM30 when you moved to Nonthaburi, and been doing 90 day reporting at that office too.

This is a generic hand out listing the requirements at MOST offices but as I said it's generic and not office specific.

Normally youโ€™ll need to provide a copy of the original documentation used as the basis for income verification at the embassy. As last year's tax return or annual statement from your pension provider. Formally youโ€™re not obligated to transfer or keep any funds in a Thai bank account as long as youโ€™ve got a affidavit letter.

thank you, sir. The new landlord did issue a new TM30 and I have been doing my 90-day reports. I was actually asked to produce some pictures taken from my house at the Chiayaphum IO last year, so that's why I asked. Still unclear as to the bank statement bit but will ask them again.

I did retirement extension there for last 4 years and was never asked for any pictures from house.

as far as if you need to have the bank book updated, and/or bank letter, statement I can't say as it's such an immigration office specific thing.
