Documents for retirement extension

[Gandtee]

Yes. It's been on here before but what documents are required for retirement extension?

[mtls2005]

A quick search: retirement extension checklist site:thaivisa.com

 

yielded this as the most recent thread.

 

Maybe start off with your list, then see who adds what, then update the thread with an edited list?

What option for financial proof will you be using?

Where would you be applying for the extension?

This link is from the Phuket Immigration Volunteers website.   In theory at least, there should be no difference between any Immigration Office.

Plenty of agents in CM if you would rather not do the legwork yourself!

Yes they seem to want a picture in front of house and a hand drawn map. Not usually needed on retirement extensions.

No leniency on the 12 months of 65,000 allowed. Unclear if non UK/USA/Oz  people can use the 65,000 income without an Embassy letter, but it reads as though it is required.

 

At least there is some clarity here, although it does differ from some other offices.

Jumping on this bandwagon, I have the last letter from UK embassy late December; applying at Jomtien. 

Besides form/photo/copies of passport/money do I need anything else?

Some good news: Phuket, at least, has confirmed it will accept the combined method, and provided their rules for using it:

What they don't say it whether the combined method requires a monthly deposit or not.

Yes sort of proof of address. A rental agreement or utility bill in your name. Or a copy of wife's blue book and id card if married and living in her house, lol.

For retirement, Chaengwattana Div 1 Immigration are also is asking for a map... They didn't ask for one for the last 9 years. I told a friend to take a map and a  photo of the front of the house earlier this month but they did not ask for the photo of the front of the house, just the map.

And why specify hand-drawn? Does this prove this is your home for real. Personally I could make something much clearer doing a screen copy from Google Maps where there is a nice dropped pin on my printer!
