What Are the Requirements for a Retirement Visa Extension in Samut Prakan?

Question

Dear knowledgeable and generous members of this group

My yearly extension of stay based on retirement is about to expire soon, and while i used an affidavit from my embassy to confirm income over 65k per month, i will be using 800 000 banked this year. Now i think i have messed up this good, as I had been under the impression that the money only had to be seasoned for two months before i submit my application, and seasoning it 3 months cuts it short by leaving me only 2 days before my current extension expire :o

As such i want to make absolutely sure I have all the necessary paperwork in order and don’t get any surprises when i go to submit my application. I know i should go to Samut Prakan immigration to get a handout listing the requirements, and I will, but experience from Korat immigration tells me such lists are not always complete.

Did anyone here recently get an extension based on retirement in Samut Prakan recently, and was there any requirements that was not listed in the handout?

Also, for documenting my banked cash: besides my updated bankbook, what documents do i ask to get from Kasikorn bank, and do i need to get those papers on the same day as i submit my application?

Closed borders doesn’t really make this any less anxiety-inducing

As well as updated passbook, your bank needs to provide last 2 months statement and a letter confirming balance and status of account. Usually, immigration will accept these dated a few days before your application.

GO to the immigration office in Samut Prakan, get the hand out, talk to them and SEE what you need exactly. There's no down side to doing that. AND I can say that the immigration office in Samut Prakan is NOT as hard core as the one up in Nakhon Ratchasima is.

Keep in mind there are more than 70 immigration offices in the country and each of them tweaks the hand out how they want to. GO and get the current one from the office you're going to be using

The rule is the 800K baht needs to be in an account in your name for 2 months before you apply for your yearly extension, it needs to stay in that account for 3 months after you get your extension and then the balance can't go below 400K baht the rest of the year
