What documents are required for extending a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand's Chonburi/Pattaya?

I think you have it covered but make sure the bank letter is dated the same day as application.

Hi Michael 1 comments, 3 quirks probably local immigration requirements (Issan) and 1 tip, I did mine yesterday.

Comment - You can renew up 45 days in advance mine was 42 days early today and the 12 months starts from the end date of your current visa date in your passport so today I got 1 year plus 42 days ie 26th Feb 2027 so nothing lost by renewing early.

2. Told to make a deposit of 100 baht on the application day, BEFORE requesting the letter and 12 months bank statement so that the bank book, letter and statements show same balance on the same day. Last year I had to leave immigration put in 100 baht before proceeding.

3. When I took my wife with me on previous years they made her provide a photocopy of her Thai ID (even though it’s a retirement visa). If she didn’t have it with her she had to go and get it before they would process it. This year she sat outside and it was not requested.

3. Was asked to pay 2000 baht today not 1900, clearly I didn’t question it.

Tip: on previous bank visits it’s always taken time to explain exactly what I needed, last year I took a photograph of the two completed request forms, took home blank ones. My wife filled in the details in Thai leaving the date fields blank, made several photocopies. This year just had to add in the dates fields (3 of them) ie today’s date on the top of the form and the start and end date for the bank statement. Today, no confusion handed in the 2 request forms, passport and bank book all done in 15 minutes.

Good luck for your renewal and hope it all goes to plan for you.

What about health insurance?

Hand drawn directions to house from immigration office.

Why leaving it so late.

Recommend going to the immigration office and validate all documents they require, some offices ask for different items and often change

Rental agreement + Owners ID + Owners Tabien Bann

This is a "universal" handout from Jomtien from last month. It clearly covers both Non O applications made in country and one year extensions of stay, and everything is simply referred to as a “visa”. (That also helps explain why the same seasoning rules are applied across both cases).

Let us know how it went and what was the final type of paperwork that got you the 1 year. Thanks. Doing mine next month.

I always attempt 30 days or more before date.
