Another Nonimmigrant To Retirement Visa Question

[ArtfulD]

Hello, my mother is currently on a non-immigrant multi-O and we are due to do our last Visa run on a the fifth of May. I would like to transfer her to a retirement visa if it is possible, she currently has 800,00 Thai bank account but it is only being there for two weeks to date. A read some people mention then that the funds have to be there for a minimum of two months prior, if that is the case will it be possible for her to get in extension/retirement visa after we have done our last visa run as we will have a further 90 days available in the country?

Does she have to get a medical certificate as well? Or is this only for applications outside the country? It seems some people have the and some don't.

Thank you.

Monry in the bank for 2 months for first application.

Siggest you make another border run and then do the extension within the last 30 days of her entry.

She will need a letter from bank certifing her account balance and copies of bank book.

Medical certificate is not requied. Some remote offices ask for it but the rules don't require it.

Yes. The Retirement Extension is pretty straight forward.
