When to apply firs extention

Featured Replies

Could some one please tell me when I am to apply for my first retirement extension at Hua Hin and also any new requirements? Thank You

A month before your current Permission of Stay ends. 

You can apply up to 30 days before it expires or up to that day. Best to do it at least 2 weeks early.

I assume you have a non-o visa entry that is needed to apply for your first extension or are you renewing an existing extension.

Yes you can apply that early.

If using the 800k baht in the bank it must be in the bank for two months on day you apply. 

You can use your copies of your wife's house book and ID card for proof of residence.  You might need to show your marriage certificate.

Has she filed a TM30 form to report your presence at her house.

Financial proof will depend upon which option you are using,

You will need a completed TM7 form with a 4 X 6 photo attached. Copies of your passport photo page, visa, entry stamp and TM6 departure card. Some office may ask for copies of every page that has a visa or stamp for Thailand on it.

I suggest you got to immigration to find out what exactly they require.

If you’re married to a Thai it’s better to apply as a spouse than based on retirement. You only need 400K in the bank and the money is only tied up 3 months of the year.

2 months but 3 to be on the safe side if you are applying 1 month before.

My understanding is that for the consequent extensions, you can apply 45 days in advance.

I was referring to keeping the funds in the bank for a minimum of 2 months before the date you apply plus 1 month while under consideration.
