Suradit69 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Has anyone recently renewed their retirement visa at Jomtien recently. It's a renewal of an extension of stay. It is not a visa. And, yes, not understanding the difference has caused a lot of confusion in some threads. Some people want to fear-monger about changes in policy or process. There have been no rumors of changes at Jomtien, despite the best efforts of some people to hint that there are. Some offices have had different policies in place for a long time. One person has confused the need for photocopies from your bank passbook for three months, which has always been the case, with a requirement for seasoned money when using the combination method, which has never been required at Jomtien. 2. If you are using all or a portion of funds on deposit in a Thai Bank to qualify, you will need: a. Original Letter from your Thai Bank certifying your account and showing your balance (the letter should be dated within the last 7 days – most Expats obtain the day before applying). b. Photocopy of your bank passbook Identity page showing name and account number and all page(s) usually showing the last 3 months activity (it is recommended that you update your passbook on the same day you get your bank letter so that both balances will agree) Above quote from Pattaya City Expats club. Photocopies for the previous three months, which is also the period covered in the bank manager's letter, are expected. Nothing about seasoning.

THX for your jomtien report as many confusions lately about different offices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That depends on the immigration office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?/topic/753605-Non-O-yearly-extension-application-window It says non-O extension, so it could be either for marriage or for retirement.
