And you sign an affidavit stating the account is true and correct - guilty as charged, your honour! Mmmm! Digital nomads don't fit in that bracket, as one example. And you probably would. I just showed evidence of having an additional Savings account.

I considered that as a reason for this form. Same bank account number, two different named applicants. Another reason I considered is when using a Fixed term account for the funds, to provide an alternative account. When I submitted my second extension application based of 800K funds in a Fixed term account, the IO questioned how I managed to support myself financially in Thailand as the funds were fixed throughout the year, and raising the suspicion I was working illegally. Since then, I've always requested the bank to detail both my fixed term deposit and Savings accounts on the standard letter. What concerns me in particular, and a point missed, is that the 'Statement' form previously used for extensions based on Thai spouse has now changed to an 'Affidavit' format. Now the introduction of an 'Affidavit' for extensions based on retirement. In the event of any shenanigans and investigations into extensions being issued via corrupt means, previously one could point the finger at each other, IO at agent, agent at applicant, applicant at agent, or any other third party involvement. An affidavit is a sworn statement put in writing. When you use an affidavit, you’re claiming that the information within the document is true and correct to the best of your knowledge. Regardless of who did what, the affidavit squarely points the finger at the applicant. Any involvement by third parties get off Scott free.

Maybe, because you currently can't post pdf's (again). You also realise you can download, save and print jpeg copies for use 😉

Nice try, but no cigar this time. Just completed my 11th extension application, 3 x retirement, 8 x Thai spouse. I have all the documents you listed in hard form, jpeg and pdf formats 😜 By the way, the 'Statement' form, which the wife has been required to sign for the previous 4 years, has this year been replaced by a pre completed and printed 'affidavit' form. Once your documentation has been approved, the back office now have a template on their PC and insert your personal details, then print. All you have to do is sign.

Then most without a pension must use the funds in the bank method. Order 138/2557. Income method - retirement.

Income method.

Looking at the form, which sections are numbered, I'd say if you were using the income method, complete 2 and 3.1 If using the funds in the bank method, complete 3.2 If using the combo method, complete 2, 3.1 and 3.2 That's just a guess. Well, if it's a wind up, the whole office must be in on it then.

I'm just you guys a heads-up on a new form that Immigration advised me will be rolled out nationwide for extensions based on retirement. The form is not speculation, I have a hard copy, scanned it, and posted it for your observations.

Funds in a Thai bank are separate from using the income method. Income should be from pensions, even the Embassies issuing Income letters are requesting proof of income from pensions.

But the monies are supposed to come from pensions, read Immigration orders. I can only tell you what they told me, and that was, it would be used nationwide. There was a clipboard full of these new forms alongside the STM2 forms, acknowledgement of overstay rules, and the 'statement' forms.

I mention that fact, but their English reading and writing skills are so poor they couldn't recognise the errors.

It's not about taxes, I asked, and they had no idea what I was talking about. According to the IO's, this is the applicant confirming all monies come from pensions, and the financial evidence they are submitting is true. One IO gave a reason for the new form before another IO intervened, became cranky, evasive, and started questioning why I wanted to know.

This is the video he alerted me to, and as the form originated from Roi Et Immigration and I just happened to be visiting the following day, I obviously became inquisitive, asked a few questions, and obtained a copy.

It's legit, who do you think gave me the copy I pasted. The form you sign acknowledging penalties for an overstay doesn't have a TM number either, but it's legit.

Not sure if anyone has yet come across or been asked to complete this 'affidavit' when applying for a 1-year extension based on retirement. As Roi Et is my Immigration office, I was alerted to it by a friend who saw a YouTube clip where it was mentioned by Integrity Legal. Going to collect my own 1-year extension stamp today (based on Thai spouse), I asked about the document. According to RE Imm, this is being rolled out across all Immigration offices for completion by those applying for extensions based on retirement only. This is basically an affidavit which you are required to complete and sign. The English spelling and grammar, as usual, leaves a lot to the imagination.

There was a chap on the forum a couple of months ago asking a related question. UK citizen, temporarily working in the US for a few weeks. He applied via the London Embassy, but flight details from the UK. The Embassy requested flight details from the UK. He was advised he should have applied through a US Consulate, stating his US address, but also advised to contact the London Embassy explaining his position and reason for uploading flights from the US. E-visa approved. Make of that what you will.

Wise don't define 'bigger' transfers. I transferred £20,000 at the beginning of this year, and £10, 000 last week, with no additional questions being requested. I wonder if the issue is how much and to which Thai bank @TroubleandGrumpy is transferring to. Only Bangkok Bank, SCB and Kasikorn can accept automatic transfers of more than 50K THB (up to 3m THB) without additional information.

No, The Embassy will be fully aware you can, and will have to extend your period of stay to complete the 1-year course. You stated you uploaded the necessary documents informing the dates of the course. That should suffice, don't worry. It's more an 'intended' date of return, rather than an 'actual' date of return.

Nonsense.

That's correct. You cannot extend a visa. You extend the period of stay from the 90 days granted on entry with the ED visa. 7. Please note that the period of visa validity is different from the period of stay. Visa validity is the period during which a visa can be used to enter Thailand. In general, the validity of a visa is 3 months, but in some cases, visas may be issued to be valid for 6 months, 1 year or 3 years. The validity of a visa is granted with discretion by the Royal Thai Embassy or Royal Thai Consulate-General and is displayed on the visa sticker. 8. On the other hand, the period of stay is granted by an immigration officer upon arrival at the port of entry and in accordance with the type of visa. For example, the period of stay for a transit visa is not exceeding 30 days, for a tourist visa is not exceeding 60 days and for a non-immigrant visa is not exceeding 90 days from the arrival date. The period of stay granted by the immigration officer is displayed on the arrival stamp. Travellers who wish to stay longer than such period may apply for extension of stay at offices of the Immigration Bureau https://www.mfa.go.th/en/page/general-information?menu=5e1ff6d057b01e00a6391dc5

Unconfirmed reports suggested it may probably, possibly, maybe start from 15th July.

https://aseannow.com/topic/1310995-is-it-necessary-to-cancel-an-ed-visa-if-leaving-the-country/ I suspect the OP had a letter of cancellation, that is how Immigration knew the date. He didn't cancel his permission of stay and leave on, or prior to, that date.

Immigration are correct. Whatever document you gave them from the Uni, had a date of termination of your permission of stay. From what you stated, that would have been 4th April. You state the Uni never informed you, but they don't inform Immigration, so you obviously had something that informed them of this date. You overstayed from 4th April to 17th May. https://app.nurse.cmu.ac.th/overseavisa/assets/pdf/Important.pdf

Just to elaborate on Maestro's comments. The validity of a visa is the period during which you can enter Thailand. On entry, you are granted a period of stay (Non ED 90 days). You can then extend that period of stay, (extension of stay)which is a permit, not a visa. Your visa was 'used' on entry and cannot be extended. Yes, rather confusing because agents and Immigration alike refer to extensions of your permission of stay, as visas. If you look at the Non B visa you used to enter Thailand, it should have a 'used' stamp across it. You were given a stamp permitting you to stay for 90 days .... 'permitted to stay until xx xx xx' It is that 90 day permission of stay you will shortly be applying to extend for a further 1 year.

You must have previously filed a TM30 to create a file at your local Immigration office, otherwise a 90-day report would be rejected as you wouldn't exist on their database.
