For me it was the airline I traveled on that asked for return flight info. I had to pull out the e-visa and all documents to show the 90 day visa and it took several people looking at it before they gave the ok. Going through suvarnabhumi immigration was no problem with the visa doc and no return booked.

Do I need to maintain a balance of 800k THB for 2 or 3 months before applying for my second year extension of my O retirement visa in Thailand?

great pointer to have home-country bank records in hand too. I know my bkk bank prints the international transfer notation, so good with that too. Thanks

Does leaving Thailand reset the 90-day reporting requirement for a retirement visa?

@Jesper ******

Thanks - it just seemed unclear since it is on me to determine the new report date. But that works for me - thanks

How do I know if I needed to do a TM30 the day after I arrived? This is the first I have heard of that. Do you a reference? I know i was asked for a tm30 when I did the 90 day report- and my building management can include the date I 'booked' back in I suppose

Thanks - that's all I could understand so far. As I understand it in the first year you have to do BOTH the 880k plus the 65k /month in order that the following year(s) you can just do the 65k/month only... I just hope to hear them say that and perhaps something in writing...

@Roberto ********

yes! I aim to do that when applying for the 2nd extension. I will be able to show the 12 months of deposits, and I am guessing it will be during the application process that I request to use the 65k monthly method for the 2nd year, as I have not seen any forms for it, etc. Any basic advice on that? Thanks

I understand that. Next time I ask about the 800K balance requirements I will write it all out like that. Thnks

Yes, I am on my first year extension (of stay) of a type O retirement visa, which has the requirements I am inquiring about.
