The bank letter is an A4 page and it simply confirms that you are the owner of the account and the balance in the account on day of it's issue. Both the 1. Bank Letter and 2. Bank Statement can be issue up to 7 days prior to day of application. However many obtain it day or two prior to application.. Here is link to an example. https://images.app.goo.gl/oHJbNGcrs4Y8XHWT8 You mention ....." Also I should have added that both my wife and I are doing the THB800k method" Looking ahead be aware that for living ongoing in Thailand non Thai wife can piggyback on your Non O retirement extensions. That would mean she does not require money in bank. That a topic in itself. Which immigration office?

Think you will find that the IT Mall Lak Si opens at 10. Anyway back to your situation. You can obtain "bank letter" few days prior to application. CW want to see update on day of application+ activity. Just a suggestion...,obtain bank letter day or two prior. Make small deposit on day of application. Ask teller to photocopy that last page to add to your other bank book photocopies of bb. Also why not book an appointment. Link for appointment: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/ Unrelated: if anyone is dealing with CW avoid SCB.

Correct. In fact think Tod Daniels outlined that earlier. Anyone on ongoing extensions that is late with due date will have extension processed and will be fined and overstay stamp will go into pp. Obviously fewer days the better. Back to OP, he indicates few days overstay. No issue. However he should do extension now. Clearly not bed ridden. Aside: This also applies to visa exempt entries. If for some stupid reason you are late for 30 day extension then attend immigration asap and same as above will occur.

Spot on and to put this thread back on track ...the OP very vague about medical treatment. Not currently in hospital. To quote OP.... "( possible hospital stay)" He should obtain extension NOW. Immigration can be little flexible with "how many days prior" In any event no contribution from OP to thread.

Bit of clarity for others. Your Non O-A is a visa valid for one year from being issued. Each reentry during it's validity would be given 12 month stamp provided insurance coverage is obtained. Not sure how OP schedule enables that. Some view non O-A as not such a good option now given insurance requirements.

Discussed in this thread last year (Oct) I'm not aware of change from 3 mil. https://aseannow.com/topic/1339513-any-news-on-the-inurance-requirment-for-oa-visa/ Have you considered change to Non O

I believe COR is valid for 30 days. Letter from embassy 1 year. Here is cut paste from ubonjoe... "Some immigration offices do certificates of residency with a statement on it that it is only valid for 30 days. If it does not have that on it then it would depend upon where you use it as to whether it would be accepted or not. Many places consider any document such as a certificate of residency stale dated after 30 days"

Agree. Various statements referring to "proof of activity" ......does this mean for example enrollment in language classes or Muay Thai etc ongoing?

OP seems at this point not admitted to hospital. Stated "possible hospital stay" Appears no reason OP can not do the extension now. As others have stated he should avoid overstay Also as pointed out immigration will still process his extension however pp will have overstay stamp+ fine. Avoid. OP has not replied. Extension retirement is simple process. The main thing is financials. Even that is simple trip to bank

Stick with what works for you. At CW the banks (apart from SCB) are L1. You can make deposit of eg 100b. The teller will copy page from bb. The balance on day of application does not need to be same as 12 month bank statement you obtain days earlier.

Previously I did exactly that. (except my deposit is 100b) I have now changed slightly. I obtain the 12 month bank statement and bank letter day prior to application. After arriving at CW I attend Bank and make the deposit and ask teller for photocopy of that last page to show the update + activity. Reason: Now the banks can be very busy, however that's for bank letter etc. The tellers for deposit withdrawal no que. Also I note you mention L27. You could consider appointment. Link attached Works a treat.. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/

Money in bank method or income method Here is a thread with clear OP. @scoutman360 Possibly couple docs listed might not be necessary. https://aseannow.com/topic/1330696-non-o-retirement-extension-trip-report-chaengwattana/ Edit: The report you made Jan 29 last year is valid. No changes. I would have suggested 12 month bank statement but notice you do that anyway. The doc check chicks may ask about TM47 and TM30. Can be random.

So that's 3 consecutive 60 exempt at NK border. You may have set modern times record. Time to at very least use another crossing if another is required. Think you mentioned based in Bangkok. Good agent minivan runs from Bangkok and even moreso from Pattaya to Cambodia

Not required. However still listed as a requirement on various forms such on one for transfer of stamps. Ignore. Note TM6 still used at some land border entries

Good news! See told you you would be in Thailand today. 🤣

Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York

There is no stated end date to the current 60 days. Make hay while the sun shines. Some think will never go back to 30. I'm not so sure..

In the link you supplied there for soft power options it states (#3) one of the requirements...."evidence of activity" So what's that mean

Thinking those that obtained first category "online work" can provide some docs etc. Some of soft power options was never clear what's required ongoing I mean a root canal (sarcasm) is not an ongoing process.

Hear Hear. Exactly the case. Thinking most DTV folk could schedule in a mini break from Thailand. Doesn't need to be a bounce I just assumed that group had factored in the option of trip to obtain "new " 6 months.

You can do report 2 weeks prior to due date and one week after for in person. For online 2 weeks early till one week early. Both of these will count from when report is made. Via mail can be made two weeks early (best to do it early) The count date for report via mail counts from existing due date. Not official but clear outline of options here. https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand-visa/90-day-reporting#

Nup. One TM6 not required. Two the information of original visa is transferred into any new pp. This thread outlines changes to TM6.

Thanks for report. Perhaps bank statement was not required as you provided bank book to show financial compliance. Many offices do not require bank statement for money in bank method. Noted. Surely TM6 was not required. Surprised CM required TM47. Best practice is to make deposit on day of application and this shows update and activity on day of application. (10 baht you serious)

OP what is date of expiry of current permission of stay. What is date you would enter hospital. Which immigration office How urgent is "possible hospital stay"

Is confusing. They obtained a 30 day extension at immigration. While there asked about doing a subsequent border bounce. Clearly not up with TM30 requirement to make a 30 day extension. I asked where located as that would determine best option for border bounce. Most folk going to Cambodia use agent border runs. The change at Nong Khai has been swift and sharp.
