I'm about to apply for an extension of my retirement visa at the immigration office in Jomtien.

Can someone please tell me what papers I need. I have a statement from my embassy showing that I have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligation for an extension.

What else do I need?

Thanks for any advice.

See answer to your question in other thread:

It's an extension of stay based on retirement, not a visa. If you want to exit the country and return, you will need a re-entry permit, since your extension of stay doesn't serve as a visa.

TM7 filled out, signed and with your phone number added below signature. Print it out on both sides of a single sheet of paper, not on two sheets of paper.

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

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

original letter from your bank manager if you are using bank balance as part of your proof of finances.

Bank book photocopies

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.

Retirement " VISA" ?

Such a "VISA" is not obtainable inside or outside of Thailand !

But he can. of course, travel to Vientiane in PDR Laos and obtain a fresh non-O visa from the Royal Thai Embassy there if it's really some sort of visa (rather than an extension of stay stamp) that he's after!
