Retirement Visa Renewal - Current Requirments in Chiang Mai

[Wuvu2]

I have extended my retirement visa in Jomtien in the past, but recently moved to Chiang Mai.

What are the current documents and photo copies required in CM to renew my retirement visa - I'm doing an income affidavit from my embassy.

Thanks!

If you go early to get in the outside queue, make sure it is the proper line. There are 4. There is a copy shop on premises if more is requested.

This time of year 5am is not too early!

Good list. In addition (while not strictly required), you might be asked to confirm your income sources. This would be quite rare, but pack your proof in your briefcase. More commonly, an officer might ask for proof of residence in Chiang Mai Province. Again, this does not happen often, but since you are new in town, as you have indicated, you might be asked. SInce you need to report your change of address with Immigration anyway, do that first, and carry a copy with you.

There is a thread of various comments running on TV Chiang Mai about reporting your address. This is not the 90-day report. The report by the householder is an easy one, and you get a receipt. The report is made at the "Investigations Office" just to the rear of the main office.

Otherwise, take a good book or magazines to read.
