My first 3 month non O retirement visa has passed the 45 days and is now ready for the 12 month extension. Can anyone advise me please on the papers I need to gather before I make my trip to immigration. I know I need to update my bank book just before I go but do I also need a letter and statement from the bank ? Do I need a map of where I live ? Do I need a copy of my rental contract ? I will be applying in Chiang Mai if that makes any difference. Thanks for your help.

Just a quick note that at Chiang Mai immigration, if you are applying for year extension, your TM30 must have the expiry date of your lease on it on the check out date.

Lucky I do mine on the app and could re-do my TM30 at immigration.

Hi, I will be arriving in Thailand around mid August with a plan to retire there, I have lived in Thailand before and did have a retirement visa.

Hello all,

I have a question regarding rental contract for applying the retirement visa in Bangkok. As per immigration’s request, application for retirement visa should submit the rental contract. However, my family and I will have 3 persons in total stay in the condo, but normally only one person will sign the contract. Then, how can the remaining 2 persons show the rental contract to immigration. Is there anyone have the same situation and finally solved. Anyone can teach me please?

By the way, is it a must to also show the rental receipt as requested by immigration.

Thank you so much.

I have just moved home and my new landlord has filed a TM30.

Do I need to do anything else at immigration (Chaengwattana) before I can renew my O visa extension of stay (based on retirement)? I will take the new rental contract and map along with the usual documents for the extension of stay process.

Google searches have been confusing about the need for a TM28 and have even suggested that you may need a signed copy of the landlord’s owner blue book.

Thanks for helping clarify for me.

Any SCB or UOB branches in bangkok that allows foreigners to open a bank? (Tourist Visa)

Friend has -Embassy letter -Rental contract

Extension of stay non-OA (marriage). Hi all, my extension is up on the 31st of this month and I want to get my new extension sooner rather than later. Besides the TM.7 application, copies of everything in the passport, the bank letter confirming 40K/month, and copies of all bank statements, copy of my rental contract, what else do I need to prepare?

Also, this will be the 2nd year of this type of visa. Do I have to go through the extensive interview process again and do I have to deal with the dreaded home visit by 6 police again???

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am wondering to apply for the address certificate, do I have to bring a Thai-English rental contract, or English-only rental contract is enough. Thai is too tough. I rent a condo from my friend and neither of us knowing the Thai language. Thanks for your advice.

Hi one question about the Covid extension. Do I need to show them a month rental contract for my condo or is one month ok?
