Maestro Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 During the last 30 days of the last 90-day permission to stay you get on 16 November, you go to your local immigration office and apply for a one-year extension of stay (no for a visa) for the reason of retirement. On the date of application, the 800,000 Baht must have been in your account for at least two months. For subsequent applications for a one-year extension it will have to be in the account for at least three months. See clause 2.22 of Thai Police Order 777/2551 and Immigration Bureau Order 305/2551 for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 If you wish to leave the country during the extension you need to apply for a Re Entry Permit at Immigration. 1,000 Baht for a single and 3,800 for a multiple. As said money in the bank for 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
