houstoniron Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 My retirement extension expires on October 14th. I understand I can renew it 45 days before it expires. My question is regarding the expiry date of the new extension, is it October 14th 2022 or I is one year from the date I apply to renew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotandsticky Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 14 October 2022. Whilst the 45 days is an Immigration 'rule', not all offices abide by it - perhaps check first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lite Beer Posted September 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2021 The new extension will start from when your current one ends. Not when you apply. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pookiki Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 If you are going to Chaeng Wattana, I believe that they are saying that you cannot go to process an extension of stay more than three days before the extension expires. Any change to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any change to that? Yes. Changed. The 3-day rule has been rescinded. You can go "not more than 45 days before" now. I went (this week) ~ 28 days before my extension expired. No problem. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrJack54 Posted September 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2021 OP, you have the correct answers above. Realize you did not ask this but be aware...if someone decides to change reason for extension from say Retirement to Marriage, then the extension will date from day of application. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may as well give a report. What did you provide? Use money in bank method? Obtain bank letter at CW? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombra Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 What did they require from the bank? The usual letter, a statement of the account, and photocopies of all (?) the pages of the bank book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some want a copy of every page of you bank book and/or a one year bank statement to prove you kept 800/400k baht in the bank before topping up the account. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monthly income/transfers? 18 hours ago, JTS said: in at 11:35, out at 12:00. Impressive. I went this week and had to wait ~ 50 minutes from payment to passport return. But there may have been some issues with personnel that day? Many staff/IOs coming and going, all with fresh bandaids on their arms, so maybe a blood drive or mandatory testing (antibody?) of some type? There were fewer than 15 people in the "L" desk area, and I had number L1-03. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I used the money in an SCB fixed deposit account opened 16 months ago. SCB no longer has a branch at Chaengwattana. I obtained the bank letter elsewhere in Bangkok not close to CW also yesterday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the 800K method and only withdraw the interest, so book shows that the deposit has never dipped below 800k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave them an SCB bank letter and a copy of the main deposit account passbook page and just page 1 (the only page used so far). No transactions after last year’s extension other than depositing ฿ 1,000 yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
