What documents are required to apply for the first extension of a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand?
First 12 months extension question: I have been approved for a Non-O visa. When I go apply for the first extension what documents do I need to bring. It's a retirement Non-O visa .
Answer summary
When applying for the first extension of a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand, common required documents typically include proof of residence (such as a lease or ownership documentation), a bank statement showing a minimum balance of 800,000 baht for at least 3 months prior, a copy of your passport and its latest stamp, a completed TM.7 form, a recent passport-sized photo, and cash for the application fee. It is advisable to check with your specific immigration office to confirm the exact requirements as they may vary slightly by location.

Can I ask. So when you apply for the extension you still need to have 800; 000 baht in the bank. Not just for the non o application. As I was informed. I don’t want to go below this before I apply for my extension in 90 days thanks

@Keith ********
yes you still need the 800,000 in the bank 2 months before and 3 months after your extension.Keith *********

You haven't stated what the extension is based on?? Just visit the immigration office, that you will be applying to, and request a list of requirements for the extension you need.

@Lay ******
the usual advice is, to go to the immigration office that you will do the extension at, and ask for a list of requirements for an extension based on retirement, also ask time frames etc, because people report requirements can differ slightly from one immigration office to another, I noticed in another comment, someone has given you the basic list for the retirement extension.

Don't immigration tell you all that??

OP@Neale *********
nope. When I went to pick up my passport with a non-o stamp. I asked the immigration officer. She said "maybe copy of your bankbook".

I think the TM6 has been suspended indefinitely for all three types of entry. maybe I am wrong. Haven't read anything about a limit for land and seaBrandon ************
Assuming you applied inside of Thailand for your non-O visa, the documents will be similar to what you used to apply for the visa. But to be 100% sure you should go to your immigration office about a week before you plan on applying and ask for their handout for requirements for the specific extension you'll be applying for. That way you know exactly what they want and can get everything prepared before you go.
You should actually do this every year, as sometimes they like to surprise you with new requirements.

seems like you know a lot. What happens if I have an emergency, and I think I might, and I have to leave Thailand before I get my extension approved? Does the Non-O expires?Graham ******
@Lay ******
Yes you start again if you don't purchase a re-entry permitLay *******

a re-entry permit doesn't add any time.Graham ******
@Lay ******
You have to re-enter before 19-May to maintain that stampLay *******
OP@Graham *****
ok, got it. If my Non-O 90 days expire on May 19th, and if I leave on the 15th of May. I still have 4 days on the books when I come back if I do the re-entry permit.Graham ******
@Lay ******
We are on the same page, a re-entry permit keeps your current stamp live whether that is a 90 day Non-O or a 12 month extension. No re-entry permit and that stamp ceases so you start again.

OP@Graham *****
I'm not sure if we're on the same page. I'm asking "what happens if I leave BEFORE I get my first 12 months extension". Does my Non-O expire?Graham ******
@Lay ******
As long as you want. Just return in time to process your next extension.Lay *******
OP@Graham *****
if I do purchase a re-entry permit, how many months can I stay away from Thailand. Would 6 months be ok?Lay *******
