For Khon Kaen office please.

 

I seem to be very good at saving this and then losing it again.

 

Thanks.

What type of extension will you be applying for.

Yearly extension Non O retirement, using 800,000 in Thai bank for the last year untouched.

Thought better check, as almost forgot photo for TM7.

Letter from bank confirming your account and updated bank book showing the 800k baht in the bank for 2 months.

Copies of your passport photo page, visa, last entry stamp, extension stamp and TM6 departure card.

Proof of residence.

Thank you Joe.

Is there a rule on how old the bank letter can be

Day before seems to be the limit at KK.

Personally I would get it on the day.

Some places like Koh Samui require a medical certificate I didn’t see that mentioned in any of the reply’s . I also have a problem my extension is up for renewal in June and my wife gets hers as a dependent trouble is she went back to the UK prior to all this virus for a three month visit but due to flight cancellations as well as the requirement to get a Corona Free virus letter she remains stuck in the U.K. and by the looks of things she may well still be stuck there by the time I have to renew the extension of stay if this was the case has anyone got sensible advice other than speaking with my local IO.

On Koh Samui it’s 7 days and that’s the same with the medical certificate and you can renew for up to one month before expiring.

KK UPDATE on Non-O as of 9Apr renewal which I posted elsewhere:

Posted April 9

---

UPDATE:

Retirement extension (42 days in advance of expiration) Non-O at KK IO today (9APR) in under 30 minutes!

 

Arrived at about 10:35. Greeter directed me to the slightly relocated Copy machine. I told him I had everything already so was allowed in. Took a number (53). Took a seat . Service highest number was 41. An IO came over and checked over the docs I had and was satisfied.

About 20 minutes along they began calling numbers. No one got up. By the time 47 was called the IO motioned to me to come up.

 

I had all my docs in order and was given the acknowledgment forms that I had been advised and understood the rules on overstay and then the 1900 fee was collected (“no tip?”) I told him I was broke. He went to get supervisor’s rubber stamps and signatures . I slid him a folded 100 baht and he seemed happy and said “see you at 90 day” and that was it.

 

DOCs presented:

TM7 with photo attached ( I used one from last year making sure I wore the same shirt as in the photo)

Passport – data page plus all pages with visa or entry stamps

TM6 departure card

Bankbook with copy of title page and transaction pages showing 800k on deposit for 2 months

Bank letter* dated same day ( 100 thb bank fee for the letter)

 

I was prepared to show my wife’s Blue House Book and copy with her signature on the pages, her Thai ID with copy also with her signature and my Yellow book. None of these were asked for although when I did my 90 day last week a supervisor told me that the Blue House book was needed.

 

* I went to the Thanachart Bank branch on Mittraphap and was told that since my account opening branch was Central Plaza (now closed because of COVID-19) my account had been transferred to the Klang Mueang branch (across from Fairy Plaza). I drove over there and it took about 25-20 minutes to get the letter. Point here is if your account is from a bank branch in Central check to see if your account has been relocated.

If your extension expires prior to her returning she will need to get a new non-o visa to apply for her extension when she can return. She can apply for one at the embassy in London online then mail in her passport and application or in person at one of the honorary consulates.

Is there a holding time of the 800K before  and after extension granted? Because my 800K in a Current account at 1.65% matures end of May and Visa expires end of June. Would like to get the 800K back into a higher paying interest account again asap.

My understanding is that only 400,000 may be used of the 800,000, and it should remain at 800,000 for three months after extension granted.

Please correct if wrong.

Correct.

In Chiang Rai today I needed to show the bank book pages for 3 months after my last extension as well as the two months prior to this extension. 

If retired  800000 in bank 2 months before you apply and 3 months affter you get it then you must have at least 400000 remain all year  or show 65000 comming in from overseas every month. If for marriage 400000  and same rules apply as the 800000  or 40000 amouth comming in from overseas
