A no doubt very silly question but I have to ask it. My previous visas have been handled by an agent. Now it's my turn!
My Retirement Visa is up for renewal on February 26th 2019. On November 23rd 2018, I deposited Baht 800K in my Bangkok Bank account. Ergo 3 months ahead of the date of renewal.
What exactly do Immigration want from me to prove that I have had Baht 800K in an account for 3 months prior to renewal? My bank book continuously updated, showing the date that the money went in and it remaining there? A statement / letter from the bank dated on the last day of each month prior to the date of actual application? Or what?
Please advise and many thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew a Retirement Visa, you need to present documents proving that Baht 800K has been maintained in your bank account for three months prior to renewal. It is advisable to obtain a letter from your bank detailing this information, printed on the bank's official letterhead. Ensure you bring your updated bank book with you to the immigration office. The letter is typically valid for only 7 days, so timing is crucial. Some immigration offices may also have specific requirements or need to see you have previously used an agent, which could influence the process.
