OJAS Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Definitely 6 months officially according to the Immigration Bureau directive included in this attachment:- http://www.pcecnews.com/PCEC-NOTICE-THAI-IMMIGRATION-NEWS-JUNE-6.pdf If you could let us know which is your immigration office, perhaps someone could confirm whether or not this official line is followed there, on the basis of personal experience. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcp0761 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Some people say 6 months and others 3 months? So how old can my income letter be when I apply for my retirement extension at immigration?The regulations say it must be no older then 6-months but it’s also at the discretion of the Immigration Officer reviewing the application.Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any truth to it? There have been reports at a handful of immigration offices of some extensions for purpose of retirement being initially under consideration, with subsequent house visits. The reasons are unclear, and it still seems to be rare. More common, actually, is immigration officials pressing people into doing retirement extensions rather than marriage extensions because the former is simpler, involving them in less work. They definitely do not want to deter people from using retirement extensions when they qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andycoops Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I always apply for my income letter 1 month in advance of the extension (UK). I have done a marriage extension for 9 years and have never been asked to apply for a retirement extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
