Just an update for future reference to whoever might need it. Documents I submitted to the Immigration: Form TM6 filled in and with photo attached Copies of relevant passport pages (ID page and all the extension pages) Account statement bank letter (1 day old) Copy of updated bankbook (updated on the application day) Hand drawn map to my house (the same I submitted for married extensions) Copy of wife's Tabien Baan Copy of our marriage certificate The last item, I was told, was needed because I changed from married to retired extension. Would not be needed next time. The IO doing my application asked if my wife was there, and called her to sit with me, but didn't ask her anything, or to sign anything. For all that mattered it could have been my Mia Noi..... The only question that came up was why the bank account started in April. I replied that I've cancelled the old account I used for married extension and started a new one. Also, I keep 1 million in the fixed account. Seem to be liked by IO's and avoids any problems with proving your financial status. It's also good to have 200K baht as an emergency fund, if need arises. All items need to be verified against the originals. Lucky me having marriage certificate copies and the original. All in all it took about 15 minutes from seeing the IO to getting the passport back with the stamps. They also updated my 90 day reporting. This might be because I just got back from Europe 2 weeks prior.

Thanks to all who shared their comments. I'm off to get the bank letter tomorrow, and Immigration on Friday (2.5 hours drive). We'll see how it goes.

I have finally given in to the IO intimidation every time we went for married extension, and have decided to change to retirement extension this time. I am preparing the required documentation and would appreciate any comments if I have missed something. This is specific for the Hua Hin Immigration Office. • Required money have been seeded for 4 months in a fixed account. • Account statement letter from the bank • Copy of the bankbook, updated on the day of application • Copy of the relevant passport pages • Hand drawn map to the location of my house • TM8 form and photo I don’t have rental receipts as I’m staying in my wife’s house. Is a copy of her Tabien Baan and her ID acceptable instead? I also have yellow Tabien Baan and a pink ID card. Also, do the Immigration need two copies of the documentation?

It's over 4 years ago that I applied for one, so don't remember now. Couldn't find anything searching, so asking here... Apart from TM8 form, what other documentation (copies PP etc.) is needed for re-entry permit?
