Yesterday I got a new 12 month extension based on being over 50 at Nakhon Phanom immigration office. Firstly what a great new building they have moved into. Much bigger and with many more counters. It was not busy as I had expected on Monday morning. I had made an appointment on line.

I was changing from banked money to monthly payments of 65000 baht or more. My Bangkok bank book clearly showed 12 monthly ftt payments. I also had to provide bank statements for the 12 months and those downloaded from the app and printed by me were accepted. My bank book showed a transaction on the day but my statements were two days out of date which was not a problem. I was also asked for proof of where the monthly payments had come from and I was surprised by this. However, I provided my UK bank statements and highlighted the transfers. It took quite a long time for the officers to check the outgoing and incoming payments matched up. I was asked to provide copies of the relevant house books but was told the signatures must not be copies. Luckily I had the originals with me.

I thought that this information would be helpful to those planning to make the same change to their funding for the "retirement Visa".

A letter from the bank was mentioned but I did not have to provide one. In fact, I needed nothing from the bank on the day except the updated bank book. Not the same as for using banked 800000 baht. I bekeive that the Officers had little experience of the monthly payment method but were very helpful.

Good evening all. Can someone please tell me the specific documents needed when renewing a marriage extension visa? There are many confusing instructions on different sites and Facebook pages.

I will apply for my new yearly extension tomorrow at Nakhon Phanom immigration. Thank you for any help.

Hi all. I’ve just extended my yearly visa by the Retirement method with 800,000 in the bank. I have to go back in 3 months to prove I still have the required balance, and they (Nakhon Phanom immigration) want to see my bank book and a copy of the same. My question is, do I need anything else? I have been told by a friend that I will need a letter from the bank too - is that true?

Any advise or help to stop me having to queue at a busy IO twice would be greatly appreciated
