1st annual extension of my 1st Non-O based on retirement at CW yesterday, everything went exactly as the group explained so Big Love to youse ❤️ 

Arrived early to get passbook updated/copied and complete forms then document check before being processed promptly at my 0930 appointment time, finished by 1000 and passport returned before 1030.

Only snags were - me not knowing passbook only gets updated if you make a transaction (so had to repeat after using ATM), and I didn’t have any insurance documents printed but none were asked (though this requirement  is stated on the criteria sheet which I was required to hold up when my photograph was taken - see attached).

Thx for everything (again) and just wondering - does it complicate matters if I choose to reduce my bank balance from 800k to 400k within the “3 months after extension & 2 months before next application” conditions or is it advisable to just always maintain >800k? Also is it true that my first 90 day report (Feb 23) can only be done in person??

✌️🇹🇭❤️

whether you can or can't do your first 90 day report online is a subject of much debate, TRY it about 10 days before the due date on the tiny paper they put in your passport and see if it's approved or rejected. If it's rejected you go in person, if it's approved you don't

Okay let's sort out what document

included in the post

This is NOTHING but a paper that the immigration office has EVERYONE on retirement extensions sign (and usually hold up under their chin to get a photo of them with it) to let them know IF they have an OA visa that the insurance requirements changed on Oct 1st from the old 40k/400k out/in-patient coverage to 3 million baht (100K USD) coverage.

It has NOT the requirements for getting an extension on an O visa based on retirement, it's just a form you sign and get a photo holding so that IF you're on an OA visa extension you can't whine to them next year that you didn't know the insurance changed to a higher coverage

Are you on Non-O or Non- OA? Reason I ask is that you are holding up the Non-OA requirements which required insurance.

If you can afford it, leave the money alone.

One day or 1 baht out and it's a serious pain to start all over.

They are not flexible on that.

3 months after and 2 months before renewal.

I have Non Immigrant O visa retirement. I got an extension on september 30. So my current vida runs until 30 september 2023. I chose the 800.000B method in a thai bank. And should keep it at this level 3 months after extension. Does it mean I can withdraw money below 800.000B ( but not less than 400.000 B ) starting from january 1st 2023or should I wait longer before i can go below 800.000B? Thank you very much.

yes you can do that. As long as you stay in the parameters and top it back up 2 months before renewal.

Make 100% sure you have your dates correct or wait a little longer just in case and topup 3 mths before renewal.

usually not. You have to physically go to your local immigration office and get it. The list is different from office to office
