no I didn't ask. But I will now certainly call in again when I'm close by and ask for the handout. Thanks for letting me know.

@Tod ********

thank you. The funds are in the bank and I have another two and a half months left on my original visa. So that means I can go to immigration 2 weeks before the visa expires to apply for my extension. Will that be enough time. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I think that has answered my question.

Well said. Excellent advice from the group.

I am in Thailand at the moment. Single entry Non-O. I applied at the London Embassy using the E Visa method. All I had to show was the last 3 months of ba I statements with over £10,000 showing on each one. In proof of pension needed. I am not yet I receipt of any pension. My application was around 3 months ago, so things could have changed.

Am I missing something. Where does it say that you have to be on a pension. You just need to show 3 months of bank statements in excess of £10,000.

If it makes any difference I plan to be in Udon Thani. Also looking at Bangkok Bank.

Thank you all for the helpful advice. All sorted.
