Hello all, I'm going to extend a retirement extension that expires on March 17. I've had the required funds in a Thai bank since October 17. I'm wondering when I can apply for the extension and exactly what paperwork I'll need to take with me into the immigration office. Thank you in advance.

To be clear, I can apply 30 days prior to the expiration date of March 17, which would be February 17?

I went to Myanmar recently and the staff at my apartment filed a TM-30 online. That should be o.k. I've been checking in every 90 days as well.

Take a look at Prerequisite are: Up to date address registration. So you did not met the prerequisite and have to register your address first.

I was required to submit a power of attorney from my landlord which is not listed on this.
