What are the requirements to convert a NON-O visa to an extension of stay based on retirement in Thailand?

@Samurais ***********

the document you are talking about from your land lord is filed with the immigration office and called a TM30 <- that's proof you are residing at the address you put on the extension application

@Samu****

A multiple entry bank account? Yeah I've heard those are tough.

makes sense. I think I had more hurdles because I was doing multiple entry.

@Samu****

The photos are for a marriage extension, not a retirement. You don't need any outside parties to open a bank account. While different branches have different requirements, a valid passport and a condo lease (even an airbnb booking) is enough to open a bank account, just saw someone last week do it in Phuket.

The only thing you're landlord needs to do is do the Tm30 and give you a signed copy of his ID card, which you should have had with your lease anyway. Remember, you can be staying in a hotel and apply for a retirement visa/extension.

Thanks!
