What is the process for renewing a retirement visa in Thailand and what should I expect during the inspection?

Charles ********

I’ve lived here for 23 years.

A fortnight ago renewing my retirement extension, they asked me to draw a map of where I lived.

Received the extension that day.

Two days later, three officers visited.

just a quick question.

Did you supply one year of bank statements or six months?

I usually provide them with six months of statements, but I’ve heard that they now require one year.

TIA.

How difficult is it to withdraw funds from a Thai bank after obtaining a Non-O retirement visa?

Charles ********

@Sylvia *******

I've lived here since 2002.

Marriage extension was 200k and retirement 400k.

It changed circa 2005.

Marriage 400k retirement 800k.

Only difference being, grandad rights for retirement.

If you already had it and didn't break the cycle, you could keep using the 400k.
