Question regarding the required documents for a non-O retirement extension: I've read in some comments that a one-year detailed statement printed from your bank is required. Is this only for the 65k monthly income method, or also needed for the 800k proof of funds?

Last year I provided the original and a copy of all passbook pages, and it was accepted. (800k method, CW office)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion clarifies that a one-year detailed transaction statement from the bank is typically required for the 800k proof of funds method for the non-O retirement extension. Although previous submissions could include original bank books, many immigration offices now insist on seeing a detailed transaction history to confirm that the funds have been consistently maintained at the required levels, reflecting the balance over time.

Makes sense.

Many immigration offices are requesting a one year detail transaction print out when you use banked money method

That's because so few people actually update their bank book regularly and at most banks if you don't update your book within 21 days all it prints on your bank book when you do is money in total, money out total for the time since you updated it last ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

That doesn't show the balance on the account every day and that's what immigrations needs to see because for banked money method. You need to show that you need to have the 800K baht in the account for 2 months before you apply, you need to keep the 800K baht in the account for 3 months after the extension is granted and then the balance can't go below 400K baht for the rest of the year until you get it back to 800K baht 2 months before your next extension

The first year extension you get (from the Non-O visa) you can just get away with the bank book updating and the bank letter (although many banks now just print you the 3 month statement along with those)

BUT

For every subsequent yearly extension using banked money you should ask your bank to print you a year detail transaction report and give that to the officer along with your 'standard bank letter' and the copies of the bank book which was updated to show the balance on the date you apply
