I am here on a 1 year OA Retirement Visa granted in the UK last year, with the required £20,000 funds in a UK Bank account and 4M Baht insurance cover, in addition to which I have pension income of £22,000pa gross before tax.

I wish to apply for a 1 year extension in September when my visa runs out. Reading the guidelines however it states the bank deposits must be located in Thailand to get the extension.

Have I understood this correctly?

Anyone here extended their OA Retirement Visa and did you have to move money to a Thai bank accounts to comply?

I am a UK citizen. I worked and lived in the Republic of Ireland and my pensions come from Ireland.. I need proof of income letter for a non o based on retirement. Neither the UK or Irish embassy will provide the letter for me. UK embassy because pensions are from Ireland and Irish embassy because I hold a UK passport.Any ideas please.
