Retirement visa extension-can I issue the bank letter (for the 800,000) a day before?

hello, admin group and everybody, happy lunar new year !

my OA 1 yr retirement visa that I applied in my home city expired in March 2023 and I was given a 1 year entry stamp till March 2024 when I re entered bkk in March 2023.

I am planning to apply for a 1 year extension of my OA retirement visa in bkk in the last week of February. Thanks to the previous posts here, I roughly know the documents needed for the application but I got a few questions and I hope to ask for advice.

1) I know a bank letter is needed but how should the letter be dated in order to fit the application ?

2) do I hv to leave my passport there and about how long can I get it back with a successful application ?

3) could I apply for the multiple entry visa at the same time as I apply for the retirement visa?

4) is there a form I have to fill in for the retirement visa? could I hv the link please ?

thank you for your time.

Hi all, 12 month extension of stay, (marriage), coming up and having to try and juggle appointments etc around Songkran holidays.

Just a question re the bank letter confirming my 400K in my account, (separate account which remains untouched all year). Does anybody know how far in advance of my appointment I can get the letter from the bank ? The list of required docs from CW specifys the letter required, but is a bit light on details such as lead time etc.

Thanks in advance of any responses.

Just wanted to give a quick review of annual extension for retirement at CW.

2 weeks ago I went to my scheduled appointment time and even with all the information I had to hand write my reasoning for switching provinces from Samut Prakarn to Bangkok. All in all it went pretty well and the officer said that they were working to do a fast approval and to come back today with an updated bank book and bank letter.

Arrived this morning and within about 15 minutes had that submitted and my passport returned with the stamp through March 2024.

I walked away telling myself that's great. Still a total of 2 trips but no under consideration stamp. I just paid today and got the yearly. Not sure if this is a growing trend or not. Plus side only 1 stamp in passport haha

They were really focused on the bank balances more so than I've had in previous years so guessing that's more a CW thing.

Thanks to Tod for privately answering a couple of questions I had prior to scheduling. As always very helpful.

Hello, When I first apply for the 90 day non-o visa based on being over fifty and retired, do I need the banking info ( the 800k and the letter) ?

Or is that not needed until applying for the year extension ( within 30 to 45 days before the non-o visa expires?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have an appointment on Monday at Chang Wattana immigration to extend my marriage visa.

If I go today to get the letter from the bank confirming funds in the bank will the accept it or does it have to be done on the day?

I am due to renew my Retirement Visa Extension. Can someone please advise me on the Bank letter i need to show my funds. Can i get it the day before i go immigration, or does it have to be dated on the very day i go. Thank you in advance for any replies. ( I am in Pattaya )

Thanks for answers to earlier post.

Follow up question to my post below. ..

If my interview is on Tuesday morning, (5th), can I get letter and update bank book today, (4th), or does it have to be dated the same day as the interview appointment ?

Hi all, got my interview booked on Tuesday for my first attempt at extension of stay, (marriage). Does anybody have an example of the letter their bank provided re the 400k for min 2 months method ? I am going to bank on Monday and just pre-empting that they will look at me with their usual blank expressions when I ask for the required letter from them. (Pink Lao bank branch). If you have a redacted example of what you used it may make it easier trying to explain to them. Cheers.

Re the Non O Retirement visa extension form the Chiang Mai Immigration…I was told that the bank letter statement of funds could be up to 7 days old….?

Is this correct..?

And do you have to update the book bank on the same day or can you do the day before..? Or a few days before…?

Appreciate any information you might have.

The K+ banking application (Kasikorn) enables you to print bank statements. Does anyone know if these are acceptable when applying for the first one year extension?

If not, what exactly is the bank letter that I see referred to?

Thanks.
