@Paul ******

Is this your first extension?

@Richard ******

I agree but the OP asked about a form. It's a tm47. And a 90 day report is not as complicated as a yearly extension. They can't be that different.

@Scott *****

At the time you apply for your next extension you get a year banking statement. The purpose of the statement is to show that your balance didn’t dip below 800,000. Any other account activity is irrelevant. You don’t have to have any activity at all except one transaction on the day you apply for your extension. Then you update your bank book to show this transaction.

@Tod ********

Remember to get a re-entry permit when traveling or there goes your extension whatever money is in the bank.

@Scott *****

I don’t understand. If you have 800,000 in the bank you can continue to use it for each year extension. If you are trying to switch to the monthly method you can wire transfer a monthly deposit.

If you do walk in for your 90 day report you will need to fill in a tm47 form + your passport + your previous 90 day report receipt if you have one.

@Richard ******

Whatever works for your IO office is what you should do. It varies from office to office. Getting a bank statement is pretty easy. I'm not sure why there is resistance to getting them but . . . up to you

@Michael *******

It wasn't my business to ask. In any case the switch to retirement will be easier than the divorce.

@Michael *******

Switching married to retirement is just less documentation. It is more expensive though.

I keep 800,000 baht in my Thai bank year after year because it is simple to do and I can afford to do it. I don’t have to track whether I made a deposit each month and more importantly whether each deposit is tagged as a foreign transfer. I never have to think about meeting the financial requirements. I think the key factor here is that some of us can afford to keep the money “tied up” and we consider the monthly method too much of a hassle.
