lopburi3 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 You also need copy of that departure card and 1,900 baht in cash and should carry supporting documents for income in case asked. The photo should be 4x6cm and attached to back of TM.7 - you should also provide a phone number on back of TM.7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colabamumbai Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 You need a printout of funds going into account, whether the 65,000 Baht a month equivalent, in your country or copy of Thai bank book and bank letter for the 800,000 Bhat on deposit in Thailand.

lopburi3 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 No you do not - there is no such requirement in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uli65 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I would recommend to bring your bank book. last time they want to see it in phuket immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodo77 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 My friend did his 3 weeks ago at Jomtien. Income letter from Embassy was good enough. I suspect this is because, as Canadians, we have to show proof of income funds to the Embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkoklasse Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks for all replies......what time does the Chaeng Wattana office open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 It opens at 0830 and there is normally a long line inside building at entry door - but most will not be going where you want to go and if you have form and copies ready you just enter second area to get queue number and that line of 50 becomes much less ahead of you waiting at retirement extension area. So no need to crash the door for entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmarlin Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Bring the rental contract is ok but don't give it to them unless they ask for it. Done six retirement extensions at CW and have never been asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo1968 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Khon Kaen has always asked ( me ) Bankbook 800K or copy of bankbook, proof that account is still live ( i.e. put in 100 baht on day going to immigration ), letter from bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 initial No you do not - there is no such requirement in Bangkok. -------------------------- I agree. But on my initial application I was definitely asked to show my Bangkok Bank passbook, even though I had my embassy income statement letter. I was also asked to go downstairs and make a "token" 100 Baht deposit or withdrawal to my Bangkok Bank account so that it would show the current amount in my passbook for that day. This was only for my first time (initial) application for a retirement extension/visa, not for any later renewals. Therefore. just happened that one time and that particular immigration officer. But it did happen to me that initial application in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkoklasse Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 I don't use the method with money in the bank. I use the income which is over 65k a month. So I don't get all the answers about bank-books. accounts, bank-statements and so on !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
