In two weeks I do my first extension. I am here on a Non O visa based on retirement. I am in Chiang Mai.

Has anyone done similar recently and if so could you kindly check I’ve got my ducks in a row : I understand I need the following:

Completed TM7

Photocopy of TM30

Passport photos x 2

Copy of passport data page x 2

Copy of passport with latest entry stamp x 2

Copy of all other passport pages (mixed messsges on this) x 2

Copy of bank passbook, every page. X 2

Letter from bank.

Copy of my rental agreement x 2.

My rental agreement has a copy of the owners Thai ID.

I think that’s it. Thanks for reading.

Different Immigration Officers may have different or extra requirements for your documents. Be patient. If you can get through it once, you should be lucky. You should expect to go there more than once.

actually IF you go beforehand, get the hand out, ask them any questions about things you don't understand, you should be able to pull it off in one try.

Many MANY people do their extensions with just one visit :)

Okay people READ this post, this is about Chiang Mai only so if you don't get your retirement extension at the Chiang Mai immigration office, you don't need to comment on what your office requires :O

With that being said

this is a general list of what can be required at most offices
