it's a FIVE YEAR visa, what difference would it make in the grand scheme of things ?

The O/P is using the Sukothai immigration office and as he said they allow 30 days or less for extensions, so at least he knows for sure when he can go

We wish him the best of luck with his upcoming extension (y)

@Raymond *******

well at least you KNOW for sure that you can't apply until you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp 🙂 Hopefully you got the hand out from them listing the documentation requirements as well

I would almost bet that he's not going to get approved online or he would have been by now..

Remember if his due date was the 14th he only has until this Friday the 19th to file a 90 day report in person (because his due date was on a Sunday and if he shows up Monday he'll get a 2000baht failure to file on time fine 😮 )

If he's going to go in and file in person, go into the online 90 day program and cancel that pending report, just write "file in person" as the reason.

Nope, you cannot 🙁

The seasoning for banked money method on retirement extensions is "the 800K baht must be seasoned in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months on the date you apply for the extension. <- That's 2 months date to date.

That means until you actually have the funds in the account for the full 2 months you can't apply for the extension of stay

Sam Shane you can actually book and appt in Bangkok then just show up 10 minutes before that time. :)

They don't care in the least what address you put on a TDAC, it's a passive data capture system only, no one checks it,

When they scan the data page of your passport it shows in their system whether you filed one or not, that's it.

Was it rejected or was it cancelled?

There's a big difference between those two things :o

No, re-entry permits aren't sold at IT Square Plaza Laksi

You can get a re-entry permit at the immigration office that issued your extension (where you live) or at the airport before you fly out

To cancel an ED extension you just need the documentation from the school/uni stating when you stop studying, go to the immigration office that issued it and cancel it.

As people correctly stated, the proof of funds, proof of onward travel and proof of lodging are requirements for people entering thailand free stamp (visa exempt) entry.

If you have a valid visa <- like the DTV 😉 you will not be asked for proof of funds stamping in
