What paperwork do I need from my bank to renew my Non-O retirement visa in Thailand?

@Stuart **********

smart move!

1. You don’t need to show your daily spending.

2. You save money on the bank charges for yearly statement. Some banks charge per page meaning you print one page against potentially 12 plus.

Is it normal for hotels in Thailand to charge for issuing a TM30?

Andy ********

A friend of mine had exactly this problem recently. He went to immigration with a hotel business card, a recipt of his payment and the booking confirmation. He got his extension without any problem. It is then up to the local immigration authorities to how they proceed.
