Extension of retirement visa

[Ooladolla]

Hi, after some advice. I currently have a visa based on retirement which I extended to the 4th of 

December 2018 ( original expiry was January but I re- entered Thailand). I have a pension and have read that the Australian embassy will issue a document to present to immigration. I will be visiting the embassy in Bangkok for another purpose in the first week of August this year. If I get the document to show my pension at that time will it be accepted by immigration when I go to extend my visa in November, being 3 months after it was issued ?

thanks in advance for any advice

In general, Thai immigration offices accept embassy income letters as old as SIX months. So yes, THREE months should be OK.

The immigration office should accept a pension letter as long as it’s dated within 6 months.

Ok thanks for that

The retirement extension doesn't éxpire' on leaving or re-entering the country.

Permission to say does expire on exit - but for a multi entry visa a new entry gets a new permission to stay date - which appears to be what he is saying in my reading.

Am I correct in thinking that as I will be exiting Thailand in November, I will have to obtain a permit to re-enter so as to keep my extended visa valid ?

You will need a re-entry permit to keep your current permit to stay valid when you enter the country.

Any idea which one of these notary service categories it falls under ? My other reason will be for a statutory declaration.

thanks again for the help

You get the Re-entry permit from the immigration office (not Australian embassy) that issued your extension of stay (best option), OR at the airport on the way out of the country.

You do a statutory declaration for your income.
