I applied for my second extension today. Everything went smoothly thanks to the kind and helpful officers at Jomtien Immigration. After accepting my documents, they gave me a form stating I need to bring an updated bank statement/bankbook to the same counter along with my next 90-day report. I'm aware of the financial requirements to keep the extension valid, but I don't remember receiving this document after my first extension last year — seems like a new requirement to me.

Answer summary

The discussion revolves around the recent experience of a user who applied for a visa extension at Jomtien Immigration. They noted the introduction of a requirement to present an updated bank statement along with their next 90-day report, which they hadn't experienced prior. The comments reveal varied experiences among users regarding this requirement, highlighting that Jomtien Immigration may enforce it more stringently now to ensure compliance with financial stability for extensions. Some discussed the specific financial requirements for different visa types, particularly emphasizing the 800,000 Thai baht rule for retirement visas.

The problem can appear if the day you must go to show your updated bank account you aren't in Jomtien. I suppose the solution is, case by case,solved at Inmigration office

Don't touch your 800,000 Thai baht bank account balance during the first 3 months of your one year extension.

Jomtien Immigration is strict about checking, as evidenced by their request.

very well could be the reason. OP wasn't clear at all if he was an 800k or 65K kinda guy. I should have deduced as you did since he did say it was his first.

i did. I am still on the extensions.

IF the O, and not the non OA, THEN you are correct.

But, neither was specified. And, as 800k can be used for either, ......

you cannot get the one year extension of stay as retired in the first year. Thai Immigration offices require 800,000 Thai baht in a Thai bank account in your name only for 2 full months before you can apply for the one year extension of stay as retired

Jomtien is hit or miss on whether they make you bring the updated bank book back 3 months after they issue the extension..

reports are they are doing it more often now, just to check and make sure that people are indeed following the seasoning requirements

congrats on your successful extension (y)
