Nonthaburi immigration retirement extension

[If I should die]

As immigration offices vary in their requirements and I have very recently extended my non-o (retirement) here are a few observations.

 

All the personnel were cheerful and helpful.

 

I had a letter from the bank that was a few days old (an earlier visit was precluded by al the bank holidays in early May) but up to one week is fine.  The bank statement was from the same day but that was not fine.  It has to be until the day of application.  The nearest bank (Kasikorn) to Nonthaburi immigration is at Crystal SB/DesignCentre on Ratchapruek Road.

 

The official who dealt with my application wanted a copy of every page in the passport with a Thai stamp but volunteered to do it himself, this time.  

 

I choose the 800,000 THB route and he explained that I could not withdraw any money for three months but could do so after as long as at least 400,000 stayed in the account.  I had to sign a book , I assume to indicate he had explained and I had understood.

 

Other than that it was a matter of waiting - it is a small office but with high and increasing demand.

 

Another interesting point - there is a modern photocopying machine and reams of paper provided free of charge for the use of applicants.

Nice!

I am sure many people would be happy even if there was an honesty box beside the photocopier asking for 60 satang a page.

I do my extension every year at Nonthaburi. My bank statement and bank letter are never collected from the bank on the day I go to immigration. As long as it’s within the 7 days it’s fine if application. Never heard of photocopying every passport page at this or any other Thai immigration office. Very strange. I only gove data page, visa page and last entry stamp page. All signed in blue ink.

Bank statement issued the day of application or update of bank book? If a statement, that seems like a significant variation, no?

 

Thank you both for the information. Will be making my first application for an extension in a few months and first ever trip to Nonthaburi Immigration, despite living here for 25 years. Quite excited.

It seems that bankbook(!) (statement?) has to be updated same day at about every office.

Last time in KK they let me off the hook with a reminder (fixed deposit showing increasing amount since years, but yes update from same day ).

Letter from the bank was from the day before and declared OK.
