In 2 weeks I will be changing my reason of stay from work to retirement (800k).  I am preparing the documents at the moment.  Is there anything more required than the list I have prepared below?

 

1. Passport including TM47 (90 day) + copies

2. TM 30 (copied from passport)

3. TM 7 Application for extension of temporary stay in the Kingdom

4. Acknowledgement of the conditions for permitted continuation of stay in the Kingdom of Thailand form 

5. Hand-drawn map of house location

6. Updated bankbook (on day of the application)

7. Bank letter showing 800k deposited in account from abroad 2 months before application (on day of the application)

8. Passport photos

9. Visa fee

 

In addition, is COVID insurance, or any other health insurance, required for the application?

 

Thank you in advance.

In Chiang Mai they require 12 months copies of your bank book, 

and everything signed and dated.  Immigrant O , no covid insurance.

copy of arrival / departure card .

You will need a letter from your employer stating the last day you will be working for them so that your current extension can be canceled before you can apply for the extension based upon retirement.

Insurance will not be required when you apply for the new extension.

Is this 100% fact? Couldn't the money have been accrued during the time you were working and deposited/saved over time?

Yes

There is no requirement to prove the funds came from abroad for a extension of stay based upon retirement.
