Greetings all.

I am in Hua Hin.

I need to do my retirement extension this Thursday/Friday (when Imm. reopens) due to a sudden bereavement in the family at home as need to go and may well not be back before expiry.

I meet all the 800k method requirements.

My bank is Kasikorn. I think they're open Wednesday

Can anyone current and local tell me if it's OK to get the bank paperwork Wednesday so I can go to Imm. early doors Thursday?

Also, do I still need to transact and update my passbook on Thursday before I go?

Can't ask Imm. as it's shut and on a time constraint.

Thankyou for any kind assistance.

Retirement extension: every year I try to make a perfect application but every year I am thwarted! Today I had all the documents on the current list. 10 is a Google map of your house with lat and long. No use printing it out and writing on it. No, you need to drop a pin on it to show the lat and long. Fortunately the copy shop near room 103 could do this. Print with north to the top of the paper. Also, the photos of you in front of your house showing the house number should be printed across the page, not full page. I think this is so everything can be understood without rotating any document 90 degrees.

When I picked up the document list a couple of days ago they gave me form 2, form 9 and 11 I think which are for acknowledging that you know the penalties for contravening the terms of your extension.

However, it was effecient and helpful; only an hour from entering the bank for letter and statement until departing Immigration. Collect passport at 4pm next day.

Hi, back in December I asked a similar question but now I dig into details (I know about bt 800.000 wired from abroad, the seasoning and the bt 65.000 option).

Now, if I enter TH with a 90 day non-O Retirement Visa, have the bt 800.000 in my bank for well over 2 months, could I ask for 12 months Extension of stay shortly after I enter or do I need to respect a certain period before applying (I am aware that I “waste” approved time but I have a reason)?

Is it possible to do "Retirement" type O Extension, 90 day Report, and Residence Cert. in one CW Bangkok IO visit?

Never tried before and wondering if Extension, then 90 Day, then Res. Cert. is the best sequence order.

Not sure about CW Extension timeline. If I have to give up my passport and wait a few days or a week for the "under consideration" time and the new Extension to be stamped into my passport then this plan would not be possible.

Alternatively, could I do the 90 day and Residence Cert. in and hour or so . ..and then when I have those finished, submit the Extension application and passport for consideration. ....and wait up to a week for the Extension stamped passport to be ready for pickup?

Doing a group search I found what I hope is a complete list of all the required docs for each step I need for a new address (old Extension was with Jomtien IO) with new TM30 and new rental agreement :

Extension non-imm O (at new address)

-- Extension application TM 7

-- Passport pages

-- TM30 at new address

-- Proof 800k bank book pages

-- Signed stamped bank letter 800k

-- Signed stamped bank statement 800k

-- Lease

-- Picture front of the house with house #

-- Drawn or Google map of house location

-- House book/owner ID ?

-- Photo

90 day report (at new address)

-- TM47 90 day report application

-- Passport pages

-- Previous 90 day receipt (old address)

-- TM30 at new address

-- House book/owner ID ?

-- Photo

Residence certificate (new address; for Drv Lic )

-- Application from residence certificate

-- Passport pages inc. last extension (from today

-- Previous 90 day report (from today)

-- Copy of receipt of notification TM30

-- House book/owner ID ?

-- Photo

Do the lists above include all the required documents ?

Old Jomtien Extension of stay expires 2 August.

10 July would be 90 days from last entry at BKK airport from outside Thailand.

Hi guys. I heard that if you are applying for one-year extension based on marriage or retirement, you can apply up to 45 days before your current renewal expiry date. Can anyone confirm this? I normally apply about two weeks before but would certainly do it sooner if I could.

Hi. I’m trying to renew my non-oa visa and there is a new requirement of “document’s order of royal thai police 654/2564”. Is this something we request at any police station and is there anything we need to prepare to obtain this? Thank you!

Hi guys, I have a non-O retirement visa that expires on July 17. I urgently need to leave Thailand for three months. Can I apply for a new visa now or should I wait for the old one to expire? Samui Immigration

Thank you.

I have a Non O based on retirement issued at Hua Hin. When I go to extend it for one year based on retirement will this go to ‘under consideration’ or will they just stamp the one year extension immediately?
