I'm a US citizen and have gotten the Non Immigrant O visa.  Need info on procedure to apply for the Retirement extension and related paperwork needed etc.

 

Thanks

Here is a good post what you need,  http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/740584-documents-required-for-retirement-extension/

Letter from bank to confirm 800k baht in the bank and bank book to confirm it has been there for 60 days or income affidavit from embassy to confirm your income of 65k baht or a combination of the the 2 totaling 800k baht.

Copies of passport photo page, visa, entry/permit to stay stamp and TM6 departure card. 

At most immigration offices proof of residence.

Completed TM7 application form with attach 4cm X 6cm photo.

 

Thanks for the info...

You'll need:

 

TM7 filled out, signed and with your phone number added below signature. Best to print it out on both sides of a single sheet of paper.

 

4 x 6 cm recent photo (they'll reject it if it's the same photo you used last year)

 

Baht 1900

 

Passport

 

Photocopies of:

 passport identity page,

 all prior extension stamps

 original visa you used to enter the country and entry stamp

 departure card (TM 6)

 

All photocopies need to be signed to show you are claiming they are true copies.

 

Original income affidavit from your embassy and/or original letter from your bank manager if you are using bank balance as part of your proof of finances.

 

 Good idea to bring along bank book & photocopies of pages even if you are using the income option.

 

Some proof of your address ... they want this from some people, but I've never been asked for it at Jomtien. Different offices have different views on this.
