What are the requirements for obtaining a yearly extension based on retirement in Thailand regarding bank statements?

Marty *********

@Kevin **********

They are just pages printed by the bank. Nothing complicated about it. That is what staples are for. It is true though that there is less chance of accidentally dipping the balance too low. Never been a problem for me.

There is literally no difference in the documents you need to apply for an extension whether you have a dedicated bank account or not.

Marty *********

A bankbook is not a reliable statement of the year banking activity. I literally never update my bankbook except on the day of my extension application.

You will still have to provide a one year statement for the account you dedicate to immigration funds.

@Jennifer ********

It is a small charge and my Kasikorn branch provides a year statement while I am sitting there. Others though have to wait several days. Best to know now your particular bank’s procedure.

All of this points to the wisdom of applying for your yearly extension as early as your immigration office allows, 30 or 45 days. If you have never obtained a yearly statement then just get one now to familiarize yourself with your bank’s process

Do I need to do the 90 Days Reporting when submitting for a COVID extension in Thailand?

Marty *********

90 day reports are free and you can do it in a 3 week window from 2 weeks before it is due to 1 week after. If you are going to be in the immigration office anyway then just ask or just do it.

Can one renew their OA Retirement Visa within Thailand and what is the process?

Marty *********

If you are in Thailand and have a valid OA visa then you can extend it for one year from the date of your permission to stay stamp in your passport. Visit your house immigration office for the requirements.

And follow anything Tod Daniels tells you.
