TLDR : Answer Summary

To obtain the initial 90-day Non-O extension for retirement, it's essential to gather specific documents from your bank. You'll need to request a bank letter confirming the balance and the source of your 800,000 THB funds, demonstrating they were transferred from abroad. Ensure this letter is dated the same day you visit immigration. Note that you must have a Non-O visa already before applying for the one-year extension, as the extension is not applicable to a visa exemption.

What do you mean with "29 days left on visa exempt extension stamp (11 Nov)." . . 🙄 "visa exempt extension stamp" 🤔 Did you enter visa exempt and extended with 30 days? Then you don't have a 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa. Maybe you meant, you entered visa-exempt and did the "change of visa type" from the exempt entry to the 90-days Non-Imm-O visa on Immigration?

You need to go to the bank the same day you go to immigration, have them update your bank book, have them give you a letter that shows your balance and activity on that day and provide you documentation that proves the money came in from overseas... so 3 things.

Plus you'll need whatever documentation you need for the non-o in the first place.

If you're currently on a visa exemption then you first need the non imm O VISA before you can apply for the 1 year extention of stay. The main thing you need from the bank is proof your 800k funds were transferred from abroad

Just to be clear, the requirement is not 60 days, it's 2 months. Just want to make sure someone doesn't read this and go a day too early and get rejected.

There is no 90-day extension for retirement. It's 12 months. I think you mean visa
