Renew 1 year extension of retirement visa problem?

[Sjoerd]

On 25 november 2022  i got a 1 year extension of stay , based on retirement. From december 2022 until now I was back in Holland. On 1 october I planned to re enter Thailand with a re entry permit. Can I expect some special problems when renew the extension in the last of coming october (because I was 10 months outside of Thailand) ?

I should not think you will have problems because of your absence, provided you have a re-entry already in your passport (as you say) and that you have the financials in order (eg kept 800k in the bank or whatever variations of this requirement). Depending on your local IO flavor, you may have to update your TM30 after coming back - apparently now possible online.

No problem.

You most likely need to obtain bank statements for roof of funds as imagine there has not been activity in the account.

Which immigration office? 

What method have you used to meet the financial requirements

Thank you for your answer; I.O Surin/Kapchoeng. I used the 800.000 in the bank and left it there all the time. There was activity in the bank account by paying electric and internet bills. The bankbook was update every 3 months. I made the newest TM 30 account to can register again. In the menwhile my passport was renewed in Holland.

You will need to have stamps, visa info  transfered to new passport prior to applying for next extension.

You can do it on same visit.

 

TM30 shouldn't be required if returning to same residence as before
