Retirement extension

What are the latest requirements for the 800000 baht renewal of the retirement extension 

[DrJack54]

800k in Thai bank account in your name only for 2 months prior to application for extension and maintained for 3 months after application and not below 400k in other months

 

Naturally immigration check retrospectively back to previous extension to check compliance 

 

OP, your other current thread indicates using income method.

If changing from income to money in bank method that should be made clear.

So what you're saying is, if you have been doing monthlies, you must still show 12 months for renewal PLUS 800k in the bank for the last two months, and the three months after renewal in order to comply with next year's requirements.

Seems a bit silly to me. Ask about the Combination Method.....400k in the bank and 35k per month.

Hey, you are probably the first to call it a Retirement EXTENSION, as it is.

No.

Some offices now require a TM30.

Some seem to be leaning towards requiring 12 month bank statement where previously bank book with photocopies was sufficient.

As mentioned above...if you are changing from income method to money in the bank you should state that.

The OP has thread running regarding income method and seems has been

using that method previously for extensions.

Not about to play guess work re now asking about money in bank method.

And he would be (technically) incorrect.

He is obtaining an extension based on being over 50.

Retirement has nothing to do with it.

Not working in Thailand is one condition. 

However we all short hand refer to extension retirement..

No, most refer to it as Retirement VISA.

But whatever, in UK you cannot have pension if under 55., or (pathetic) State jobbie under 67.

In all my 10 Retirement Extensions, I have never been asked where my monthly transfer comes from....house rental, Pension fund, or sister's immoral earnings. They don't give a monkey's.

What you send in gets taxed, the rest, in your own country, is yours. (Unless you tell them )

Some immigration offices do.

@chickenslegs in current thread.....

"Separate bank letter listing each of the monthly foreign transfers,

Proof of where the money came from. I produced a letter from my pension provider, showing the monthly and annual amount - this was accepted"

And we turn blind eye. No such animal as a "Retirement Visa"

Pension is irrelevant. As I posted earlier the Non O has requirement of being over 50. Not necessarily retired.

If using money in bank the funds do not need to be shown from abroad.
