Extension based on retirement
As I said - every Immigration Office has it's own requirements that may not be the same as any other office. At Jomtien, I have never had to show more than the bank book balance from the time of the previous Extension application, nor been asked to provide a 12 month statement, for using the 800k in an account method. All they want to see is that my balance didn't drop below the 800k/400k minimums during the previous year. And that is a Fixed Term account that generally has 2 transactions per year. One when my annual interest payment is deposited and one when I update the balance. It used to be - in some places - in the "old days" - that they wanted the money to be in a Savings Account and they wanted to see transactions on the account to prove you were actually using that money to fund your stay in Thailand. But at Jomtien they have no problem with people keeping that money in a much safer Fixed Term account that has almost no transactions on it at all. Makes their job much easier in fact as they don't have to wade through pages and pages and pages of photocopies to see if your balance ever dropped below the minimum 800k - in the first 3 months since your last Extension - or below 400k over the next 7 months, or below 800k again for the last 2 months before your current application. And yes, some offices may want additional information which is why I said it is important for the person doing the Extension application to find out for themselves what the office they are dealing with wants. I've only had to submit a TM.30 once and that was when they (Jomtien) changed the way they were doing 90 Day reports. They demanded people "verify their address" first (I'm guessing to give work to the new "Address Notification" desk they'd set up next to the "90 Day Report" desk in the new annex they built a couple years ago). Once they verified your address, they stapled a "Receipt of Notification" in your passport, which you then need to photocopy and add to the stack of paperwork they now expect people to do every time they do a 90 day report. But that "Receipt" isn't good enough (at Jomtien at least) to prove your residence when you are doing an Extension. Which is a head scratcher in itself. And who knows. Maybe when I go to do my Application next year, there will be different requirements - for things that other offices don't expect. But I always go in 2 weeks early just so I'm prepared in case there are changes. You can (in some/most places) submit your annual Extension Application up to a month in advance of your due date. Regardless of when you submit it, they won't change your due date though. For example. Say your "due date" is 30 June 2025. You decide to go into Immigration on 17 June and your get your passport back on 18 June. Your new "due date" will be 30 June 2026. You don't gain, or lose, any days by waiting longer or going earlier. Going earlier gives you the ability to change your schedule (in the event of holidays or bad weather or riots or border closures) and react to any changes. But we know what happens if you go a day late, don't we ? -

Transport Thai Airways Shuts Down Budget Carrier Thai Smile Amid Financial Struggles
All the while the real professionals managed to get through Covid with a black Zero and Air Asia as well as (my favourite) Thai Vietjet Air have recently announced mega orders for new planes. The problem with WE was the company's leadership - a carbon-copy of Thai Airway International which, apparently, clocked up a loss of exceeding 300 billion Baht (that is B and not M). TG nevertheless is ordering new planes and then scratches whatever they scratch to find out, if any where to they could fly next. Possibly like a 7/11 for the staff with the difference that there is no cashier on the way out? To visualize the organization of such airlines, I love to revert to the pecking order within Thai Airways as published by themselves 😉 Reading is believing 😉
