newbieretiree65, you got information incorrectly. If immigration asks, you have to provide proof you have kept 800k baht in your account for three months anytime after three months. it’s not like that you must report on the day of three months’ mark.

@Michael *****

, yes, you should be fine with both bank account in that scenario, and you are correct to get documents from both banks.

nothing special happens. you can provide the documents about your bank account as long as your bank account is “alive”, regardless you are in Thailand or out of the kingdom. and as you should be able to provide documents or passbook to prove your bank account balance for three months including time you are traveling out of Thailand, you just provide it if you are asked.

As a general rule, you must have had 800K baht in your Thai bank account for two calendar months as of application day. Be careful when you move money between banks. You should keep more than 400K baht in one of two accounts anytime during the switching process, as you must keep 400k baht throughout the year, after three months of keeping 800k baht in your bank account from the last extension approval.

You will need bank letters and transaction records from both banks for the next application.

There are a few offices that require you to have 800k baht in your Thai bank account for three months when you apply for a new extension. Most offices accept an extension application when your current stamp is remaining 30 days or less. So, go to your local immigration office to get the latest requirements 3-4 months before you apply for the next yearly extension based on retirement, for you not to be too late to put money up to 800k baht for the next application.

In that case, 30 days extension should be until March 2. OP should be fine as he leaves on March 2. No overstay stamp.

StunningTurtle691, that depends on your "first visa".

What you mean exactly by "first visa"? Where did you get that fist visa and how long validity and stay stamp?

Or you can show me the photos of stamps related to the first visa. (here or send me)

You must hold 800K baht funds in your Thai bank account for three months after you get the first extension, then keep no less than 400K baht for the rest of the year to keep being eligible for the retirement extension. And you must have 800K baht again for the full two months when you submit your application next year.

Required documents are the same, but you may want to make all new ones.

You may need a renewed lease agreement if you have one.

The Chiang Mai office accepts your extension application when your stamp is remaining 45 days or less. You are free to apply for an extension anytime within this period.

@Gillian ********

, reporting window to submit in person at the local immigration office is: between 15 days before and 7 days after due date. You have two days (Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th, because of long new year’s holidays) to submit without any issue

@Michel ****

, that’s for reporting IN PERSON. I wrote “online reporting”.

Right, they changed the rules for the 90-day report online quite a while ago. It may vary by province, but the basic rule is, the first 90-day report after travelling outside Thailand has to be done in person. Also, the online reporting window is now between 15 days before and 7 days before the due date.
