Krabi Retirement Extension Requirements

[TerraplaneGuy]

Hi all I’m on a retirement extension of a Non-Imm OA visa.  Thinking of moving to Krabi (been in Samui for a couple years).   Does anyone have a list of the current requirements for this kind of extension at Krabi Immigration?

[Pappap]

Updated bank book showing all of last years requirements.

Letter from the Bank

Copy of Passport

Copy of Visa

Copy of house rental contract

Photo of you outside of where you live

Map of where your house is

TM 7 Form

Passport picture

This is what I took 3 weeks ago, all done within 20 mins, wait time 30 mins, went early am 9ish this time of year really quiet and pretty helpful as well, enjoy Krabi.

Thanks yes every year I submit that at Samui.   Anything else to add to Pappap’s list above?  What about a screenshot of Form TM30 registered by landlord/hotel?   That’s required in Samui.

Well you are changing address so required to do TM30 for change of address.

Make screenshot of TM30 to include in your paperwork.

 

 

I did mine at CW week ago.

I'm adopting "kitchen sink" approach.

Using money in bank method and this extension I obtained 12 month bank statement.

First time ever in 10 years.

 

Guess that you will not have a TM47 for Krabi address. 

Seems some immigration offices are asking for that now.

I think I’ll have to file a TM47 (90 day report) for my new Krabi address before I do my extension, so I’ll have that.  In that case is there any need for a TM30 for the extension in Krabi?  I used to live in Bangkok and did many extensions at Chaeng Wattana; never was I asked for a TM30.

Same for myself.

First time ever for extension from non O retirement I provided Lease.

No issue. 

The TM47 was only asked for my extension Oct 2022.

Lucky I had it with me.

The 8 extensions prior never required TM47 or TM30 at CW.

 

It's a crap shoot with Thailand immigration offices.

Would be easy to write comedy skits
