ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi,

On 6 June 2024 the IO here in Chiang Mai granted me an extension of stay based on the Non - O over 50 (retirement) visa using the international bank transfer of 800,000 baht. The expiry date ends on July 2 2025 (in effect 13 months according to the stamps in my passport).

The next extension of stay will be applied for and based on the monthly income method of 65,000 baht minimum international bank transfer every month for 12 months.

Question:-

Do the 12 x monthly statements run from:-

1) June 2024 to May 2025 inclusive (12 months);

2) July 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (12 months);

3) June 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (13 months).

Regards!

Graham

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, Graham, inquired about the correct time frame for the 12 monthly bank transfer statements necessary for applying for an extension of stay based on the Non-O over 50 (retirement) visa in Thailand. The responses clarify that the 12-month period for the necessary bank statements runs from the date of the extension issuance (6 June 2024) until the date of the next application, which should ideally be around a week or two before the current extension expires (July 2, 2025). Thus, the statements should be collected from June 2024 to May 2025.

Just make sure you continue to meet the requirements from this year's extension while working towards next year's transfers. That means your bank account must remain at 800,000 baht for 3 months after your extension date and then it can never drop below 400,000 until you get next year's extension.

the 1-year extension started on the day after the 90-days stay permit from the Non-imm-O visa expired. So your next application will happen a week or two before the Extensions expires on July 2, 2025. You should have collected 12 months of consecutive transfers by then

When you next APPLY you need at least 12 consecutive monthly transfers

6 June 2024 (day they issue your extension) until the day your application for next extensions
