For the annual extensions based on retirement done in Thailand, there is no requirement for either a police report or a health form. That would apply whether you originally entered on an O or an O-A.

and you show:

an income of 65,000 THB a month

OR

800,000 THB in a bankaccount in Thailand for at least the last 2 months (3 months for any further extension)

OR

a combination of yearly income and money in the bank, totaling 800,000 THB.

Money in the bank has to be proven with your bankbook (updated) and a letter from your bank (your bank will know). The letter from the bank has to be the day before or the same day.

The form can be downloaded from here: http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/tm7.doc

print it double sided, they won't accept it if you print it on 2 seperate pages.

Can't help you with the specifics of your immigration office.

Actualy, only when you apply for a O-A visa is the polcie and health check required. For a non-immigrant O visa based on retirement it is not.

You were lucky, many offices won't accept them that way and will require you to fill out a new form on the spot.

As I understand it Suan Phlu now uses there own computer generated form (with the digital photo/fingerprints) so the one you give them is extra; so that is probably why they were not concerned.
