Do you mean to take selfies and use them? Rather not as I have no idea if our IO will accept

Oke, new pictures it is, now only we have to find someone who can come and take the pictures ????

I am going to Retirement Extension route, but only use the Docs for Marriage extension as a Backup (just in case) Only a couple of Docs more (Kr2, ID, Tabien Baan, Pictures)

I just went through my Document storage Folder where I keep the docs for immigration, and I came across a set of pictures which we used for the Marriage extension previously. Can we use these pictures or do we need to take new ones. TiA

I can only say TiT. I just last week went to IO and they said for renewal of extension I need 3 month statement from Bank. You are lucky that you don’t need it ????????

Previous discount was (Sept - Dec)

Yes the Service charge decreases but Ft (Fuel Surcharge) increase to 0.93430 THB per Unit (which is almost 1 Thb per unit). The previous discount is removed https://www.pea.co.th/ความรู้เกี่ยวกับไฟฟ้า/ArtMID/606/ArticleID/152152/ค่า-Ft-ประจำเดือน-มกราคม-เมษายน-2566

+1 It absolutely doesn't hurt to have your wife go with you. I also take here with me when I am going to extend my Retirement Extension

????

Not an issue in my case, money is in the Fixed Account for years, when I went the Marriage route I kept 500K in it, with the Retirement I upped it to 800k+ and it is in there all the time (only add money, the only withdrawal is on the mature date the Tax ???? ) What I am going to do is prepare the Docs for the Marriage extension as well, which are KR2 (get it the day before going to Immigration) and Pictures, so in case I run into trouble, I am say, oke I qualify for the Marriage Extension so let's go that way. (I guess they won't like it as it much more work for them ) Will report back how things go.

What do you mean by that?

Good for you, I hope it's easy. Last year was easy but this year seems they have changed the rules. Did I mention that they also want copies of my Yellow House Book? (Posted about in another thread) I am really anxious what happens on the day I go to Immigration next week. @ubonjoe Can I change back from Retirement to Marriage? Thus Before was Marriage -> changed to Retirement -> going back to Marriage? Or do I need to get a NEW NON-O to do that?

As I said before my bank letter from last year shows the updated balance from that day (some money transferred in before I went to Bank to show a transaction) and that is with an FD account. I will have to wait and see what happens (maybe the bank has changed procedures??) Will report back!

Aah I guess you use a Savings account if you get consolidated entries, an FD account doesn't get consolidated entries AFAIK

Someone said that getting a Retirement Extension is easy, but I never had any problems with Bank Letters / statements etc etc when I was still on the extension based on Marriage. The only reason I switched was because I ???? the under consideration period (up to 45 days), but now seriously thinking of switching back. Will of course report back how everything goes (next week somewhere)

Question: FD account or Savings account?

I checked my Bank Letter and Bank Book updates from Last year, and the amount was the same. Thus before I went to the Bank, I transferred the min. 2k THB to the FD account, then went to the Bank, got the Bank Letter and the amount on the Letter was exactly the same as the amount in the account. This was Bangkok Bank and money is in Fixed Deposit account. Also, as a test I transferred 2k THB to my FD account yesterday and the balance was immediately updated and I then printed out the statement via the BBL Website which showed the added amount and the updated balance. But Immigration will NOT accept a Printed out statement AFAIK, but can show them the Balance in the account via the BBL APP

100% correct on this. Another member (who uses the Same IO as I do) doesn't even need a bank letter an updated Bank Book is all (Afaik) Edit: Ah .... it, if they don't approve, I will just go to Savanakhet and get a Multiple NON-O (based on Marriage) and next year go the Marriage Route again ????

3rd Extension (before Marriage) and I went to Immigration last week and they SAID 3 Month statement and YHB (Yellow House Book) needed 800K is in there since I changed from Marriage -> Retirement (never taken money out only transferred money in) I also do that every year before I go to the Bank AND Immigration. Last year NO issues, but this year they came up with this. (I shouldn't have gone to Immigration and ask )

Just had a look at my Bank Letter from last year and it has the balance of my FD account of the same day when I went to Immigration and added money to the account early that same morning. So my guess, 3 Month Statement will have balance from day before and Bank Letter will have balance from the same day. Bbbbuuuttttt will report back next week when I went to immigration and the Bank. (Also will report back if they require the YHB (issue I raised in another thread)

I think I understand it now (Maybe wrong) The 3 Month Statement has the balance from Yesterday, but the Bank Letter with the actual balance is from TODAY. I just transferred the min. required amount of 2000 THB to my Fixed Depost account and the Balance is updated immediately. So on the day I go to Immigration I get 2 letters 1- 3 Month Statement with Balance from Yesterday 2- Bank Letter with the NEW updated Balance (as I will transfer money into the account on the same day) I hope this works (fingers crossed)

It's for renewal of Extension of Stay based on Retirement For example goto Immigration on the 11th, goto Bank early morning get statement and then go to Immigration, but the statement will only cover up to the 10th! (one day before)

My local Immigration wants a 3 Month statement that the 800k THB is in the account at least 3 months (for renewal of extension based on Retirement) The money is in a Fixed Deposit account and is in there for a very long time already (longer then 3 months) and it also was never below the min amount required Now I talked to the bank and they replied via Bankmail this So the statement will be from the day I go to the Bank Branch but the balance will be from the day before Will that be an issue? Bank is Bangkok Bank Account: Fixed Deposit IO: Buriram TiA

55555555555 Good idea, but what about shade as you know shade and solar panels don't mix I used the ones you posted in the other thread, but birds just made their nests in between the spikes. IMHO v2 (above) needs more spikes (not an expert because I just throw stones at them
