ORIGINAL POSTER

A retired UK national in Thailand about to do the "Extension of Stay" at Hua Hin Immigration Office having arrived on 90 Day Non-Imm O visa. Was told that I need to have the following but then someone else told me that this is not the correct list -                  

Must be 50 years old and above - I am.

Passport (signed copies of each page) - is it really signed copies of ALL pages or just the biodata pages?

Non-Immigrant O  Visa - assume that this just means a copy of the passport page showing the O visa stamp?

TM30 receipt - this would be the current/last TM 30 receipt?

Proof of meeting Financial Requirements such as bank statement (for income) - would this be the same bank statements that were supplied when applying for the "O" e-visa?

Income Certificate from the embassy in Thailand (applicant’s nationality) - been told that this is not necessary? Is it and if so, why?

Thai Bank Book showing deposit account (original)- does it need to be all pages showing all the transactions on it? 

Letter from your Thai Bank (certificate must be signed by the bank official) - to say what? Is a letter/certificate from the bank also needed or not necessary? 

Three (3) 4×5 cm photos, with full face taken within the last 6 months. I have.

Proof of permanent accommodation in Thailand such as lease or rental agreement. I have.

Anything else 'missing"?

Multiple Re-entry Permit - can I get this at any airport e.g. Hua Hin?

Thanks all

TLDR : Answer Summary

A retired UK national seeking to extend their Non-Imm O visa at the Hua Hin Immigration Office is confused about the required documents. Key points include needing to be over 50, providing signed passport copies, proof of financial means (including bank statements from a Thai bank), a TM30 receipt, recent photographs, and proof of accommodation. Some requirements, such as an Income Certificate from the UK embassy, are not necessary as the UK does not issue them. For the Multiple Re-entry Permit, it's recommended to apply at immigration rather than at an airport. The conversation provides detailed guidance and clarification on these requirements.
