As I'm in the process of trying to obtain a "Retirement Visa" I thought for the fun of it I'd create a timeline of events recording my efforts and their results. So far I've only gotten as far as obtaining the Non-Immigrant Type O visa - but here's what I've done so far:

Now for the 12 month extension at Immigration Thanks for sharing

There was no need for that trip to Penang but you save the 2,000 baht visa conversions cost at immigration and I hope had a pleasant trip.

Don't know how current the income statement and medical need to be but I would get down to immigration sooner rather than later. You are also going to need a new bank balance letter. 4x6cm is correct photo size and only one will be needed in Bangkok but extra if upcountry. After you receive extension you will have to obtain a re-entry permit prior to any overseas travel or lose your extension so keep that in mind (many buy permit at same time as extension).

Oops. Just downed that you have a new visa so have to wait 60 days before extension application. Believe you will need new everything in that case.
