Hello,

I've been doing extensions based on marriage for over 7 years. Thinking of changing this to retirement extension...

My question is: what kind of supporting docs do I need? When looking at Imm Bureau Order 305/2551 for required documents, retirement section, I read:

1. App form

2. passport copy

3. evidence of income, or

4. fund deposit cert

5. Only in the case of Criterion (6), the applicant must submit documents equivalent to Clauses 1-4 stated above

What is criterion 6, is it relevant?

What about proof of residence? It's not on the Order, is it needed? If yes, what is a correct proof of residence (my name is not on my wife's tabien baan)?

If Imm does require a proof of residence and if they accept do a copy of my wife's tabien baan, will they still need proof of relationship (marriage cert), since my name is not on the tabien baan?

Are there any other docs to be provided which they did not list on the order, like map to residence?

What if, after retirement extension has been approved, there is a divorce, how would that affect future extensions in terms of supporting docs?

sorry for repeat topic, I did "search" but found more questions...

Six is the grandfather clause in 777/2551 which changes the financial requirements shown in 5. Which is where 800K baht in the bank or 65k baht income is shown.

They may want a copy of your marriage certificate along with signed copies of your wife's ID card and house book.

Some offices may also want something from you stating she agrees with you changing to an extension based upon retirement because of its greater financial burden.

If you got divorced what you needed for the next extension would depend upon where you are living at the time.

Retirement extension requires:copy of affidvit from embassy, copy of bank statement showing 65,000 Baht going in, house book and I.D. copies signed or lease copy and an application form. Not much paperwork.

Actually the requirement is letter from your embassy of pension if using that method or bank account book/letter if using 800k (or both if using combination). I have never been asked for any proof of residence for retirement in Bangkok but also converted from marriage and first time they did want wife to appear to acknowledge my change of status (in case you might be planning a runner). Since then my address remains the same so expect if I change it they would then want a new proof be provided. As said not much paperwork.
