Thai Retirement Visa Visa Extension Nakhon Phanom Immigration Bank Statement Requirements Expatriate Advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all. I’ve just extended my yearly visa by the Retirement method with 800,000 in the bank. I have to go back in 3 months to prove I still have the required balance, and they (Nakhon Phanom immigration) want to see my bank book and a copy of the same. My question is, do I need anything else? I have been told by a friend that I will need a letter from the bank too - is that true? 

Any advise or help to stop me having to queue at a busy IO twice would be greatly appreciated

As a rule (meaning as in most offices) they do not require you to get a new bank letter, just update your bank book on the date you go back, make a copy of that page and show up with those and your passport

thanks Tod. I was going to update and get copies on the relevant day, then go in the next day early to avoid a queue- does this sound feasible?

@Clive ********

you need update your bank book so it shows the balance on the date you go back, not the day before. So that won't work.

Well IF your friend also gets their year extension based on retirement from nakhon phanom and said that's what they needed I'd say get it. Face it a bank letter is like 200 baht IF the bank charges you.
