TLDR : Answer Summary

The 'Residence of proof' for a one year Non-O visa extension typically refers to documentation that verifies your living situation in Thailand. This can include a one-year rental contract along with the owner's house book and identification. Additionally, it may require a lease agreement that includes copies of ID or passports for all signatories involved in the lease.

I just applied today. I included a one-year lease agreement, copy of my landlord's ID and copy of his blue house book. It was all accepted and nothing further required. Thank you.

Some people here, including the mods, would laugh at your problems.

Backapacker level they are, never knew how to do it properly, for long stays.

I think you also need 2 pictures of you standing outside the house and 2 inside along with a screen shot of the location.

thanks. However I understand the Britush ermbassy does not provide such verification. I have bank statements than show my pension and rental income.

Also is this an and/or 800,000 or pension

7.2 seems to say I must withdraw 400,000 after 3 months. Am I reading that correctly and if so why.

that is worded strangely. The balance cannot get below 400,000 baht 3 months after the extension.
