TLDR : Answer Summary

To extend your 3-month Non-O retirement visa to one year, you should use the TM7 form, not the TM87, as the latter is for new visa applications. Also, keep in mind that there may be requirements regarding having a bank account when applying for the initial Non-O visa.

I thought someone told me wrongly. She said can the travel visa for changing to non-o visa first, then use this non-o visa to open bank account. Is it strange?

No the TM87 is an application for a visa form. You already had the visa. You are applying for an extension of stay so would use the TM7 form.

Following this. Stuart, if I wud obtain my Non-O (retirement) via the thb 800k modality can I still obtain my 12 months extension based on 12-months proof of adequate monthly pension income deposited in my Thai bank account? Thanks for advising.

k rule and the immigration officer was not interested in seeing proof of my salary or 12 monthly 65k transfers. Told me to show this in 12 months time.

thanks. This proofs we can switch from the 800k rule to the monthly income rule (my pension coming from USA not Netherlands, even whilst I am Dutch nationality. As such Dutch Embassy will not issue visa, support letter). Will use UN Pension certificate to request 12 months extention at IO.

@Max *******

as others have said if your embassy issues the income affidavit letter (which appears is your case) you use that and not 65k in to a Thai bank.

after the first year, and when you have at least 12 months of transfers into your account of at least bt65,000 every single month, never less, coming from an overseas source direct deposited into your account. This is very important. You can't just use ATM receipts as an example.

Depending on your passport country, immigration might want a notarized pension letter from your embassy

as you are from the Netherlands and want to use monthly income you need to get an income affidavit from your embassy
