Immigration appointment 18th July 2025 for first retirement 1 year extension visa

[Wyabcp]

Hi all,

I obtained my non O 90 day visa in the UK prior to travelling to Thailand. This will end next month and I now have booked an appointment with immigration on 18th July for a Extension Visa for Retirement at Ratthaprasasana Phakdi Building, this is scheduled for the morning, I have also a meeting booked in the afternoon for multi entry at the same location.

Could someone please help and confirm required documents and evidence please ?

 

for extension I have:-

 

TM7 

TM30 - provided by my agent

Copy of my 1 year lease agreement

Passport

Photo's of passport ID page, stamp page, bio data page

4 x 4×6 cm photos of me

Copy of bank statement book all pages also showing no less than 800,000 baht has been in account for no less than 62 days

Hand drawn location map of my condo

Rental receipts for past 3 months rent

1900 Baht for 1 year extension fee

Also I understand that I need a letter from my bank too ? is that correct.

 

Re-Entry 

TM8

 

 

 

Many thanks in advance

Your list seems complete to me.

The bank letter is best to obtain on day of application.

It's a simple statement confirms you as owner of the account and balance on day of application. 100b 

Also do a small deposit. That updates bank book and shows activity on day of application. 

As for reentry permit.,yes TM8 also requires photo and basic photocopiers if pp

You can obtain seamlessly at airport with a 200b fee and immigration do all.

In the future, it's always best to get the list of requirements directly from immigration before you will attend for the extension.  For Bangkok that might be a bit arduous, but some of the offices do change requirements from time to time.

Thanks all, is it ok to type the responses on the form and print, or should I only use hand written responses.

Type on the form and print is fine. Just leave the signature and sign in front of them on the day (not sure if that is strictly necessary but no harm in it - I always sign in front of them)

And don't forget to bring a blue pen!

In my experience with Chaengwattana:

 

- no need for lease agreement

- only one photo required, stuck to the application form

- only the last year's entries + data page for the bank book.  You also need to show the bank book.

- map printed from Google Maps is fine

- no need for rental receipts

 

Other people's experiences may vary.

It is the OP, s first extension and plans to show a three month bank statement (good plan) 

The actual bank book will definitely be required.. 

CW will want to see something that shows address. TM30 and/or Lease advisable. 

Immigration may accept google map however CW known to have you provide hand drawn map. 

The OP is providing hand drawn (good plan)  

 

OP here is a thread report.

There have been quite a few detailed, first-hand "trip reports" at Chaeng Watthana for retirement and marriage extensions posted here with document details. I'd search those out, review them and assemble those additional documents just in case.
