Financial Requirements for a Non-O Retirement Visa Extension in Thailand

For a Non-O Retirement Visa extension you need 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account that has been there for at least 2 months (60 days) before your extension date.

The Specifics

• You must show 800,000 THB held in a Thai bank account.
• The funds must remain in the account for a minimum of 2 months or 60 days on the date you apply for the extension.
• Immigration requires your last 3 months of Thai bank statements as proof.
• A Thai bank account is mandatory; balances in overseas accounts such as US banks do not meet the requirement.
• If you combine two Thai bank accounts to reach the 800,000 THB total, approval rests entirely at the discretion of the immigration officer.
• The 800,000 THB option must be deposited into a Thai bank account and maintained there for three statement periods before applying.

Expert Tips from Thai Kru Visa Agency

Prepare your documents early. You will also need the first page of your passport, the Thailand visa stamp page, your TM30 form from your property owner, and two physical photographs. An updated bank statement after the required deposit period is essential.

Timing matters. You can usually submit the extension 7 to 30 days before your current permission to stay expires. If your visa was originally issued outside Thailand, the extension process stays straightforward as long as you meet the financial rules exactly.
