Hello, could I ask experts out there about the bank certificate for the stay permit extension of non-O retirement visa?

When I renewed my extension last year, my immigration officer told me that I could use a bank record dated within the last 7 days. 

Does this same allowance apply to the bank certificate as well, or does the certificate need to be obtained on the same day of the application?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Answer summary

The bank certificate for a non-O retirement visa extension should ideally be obtained on the same day of the application. While bank statements and letters can typically be up to a week old, some immigration offices may have varying requirements, and it is best to confirm with the specific office you will be using. Additionally, other documents such as an updated bank book are also required.

You normally need 3 things.

1) bank statement produced by the bank

2) bank letter stating you're the owner of the account

3) updated bank book

At most immigration offices, 1 and 2 can be up to a week old. The updated bank book normally needs to be updated the day you're applying for your extension. Some offices allow the day before, but I've read at least one office that used to allow that now requires it to be the day of.

As always it's best to check with your immigration office on the exact requirements, as they can change from year to year.

in addition to the 3 items required that you state, Chiang Mai immigration also required a bank statement on source of funds. I did my non-o extension last week

Worth clarifying that the bank statement is needed to cover the seasoning period.. so immigration can see the minimum balance was maintained throughout.. unless it's an extension on the income basis of course 👍
