Retirement Extension for Dummies
« on: February 07, 2014, 07:15:26 PM »
I’m starting a new topic so I can readily go back at reference the requirements.
I successfully obtained a new retirement extension from KCI on 6 Feb.  I put together a packet and it was complete as I could have made it. 

So if you are going for a retirement extension, have the following:

·    TM 7, printed on a single sheet front and back.  (attached)
·     Color Photo 4 x 6 cm (I already had mine attached to the TM 7)
·      Passport
·       Copies of all used pages from your Passport.  Sign each page.
·       Copies of house book, sign each page.  I also had the house book but the agent did not check it. 
·       Proof of income.  I have used both a bank statement and letter from Embassy, both worked.
·       Thai income form.  (attached)
·        Acknowledgement form (attached)
·        1900 baht.

Now if you are not leaving Thailand, this is basically it, except KCI might require a TM 47 (90 day report).

Forms Required (TM 7 and 47 can be filled in using work, the other 2 require pen and ink):

If you plan to leave Thailand, you might want to get a re-entry permit when you get your new extension.  I get the multiple re-entry permit just for the convenience.   

You will need to have:

•   TM 8 printed on both sides of a single sheet.
•   Color Photo 4 x 6 cm (I already had mine attached to the TM 8 )
•   Passport
•   Copies of all used pages from your Passport.  Sign each page.
•   1900 Baht for single re-entry, 3800 baht for a multiple re-entry. 

TM 8 attached, can be filled in using word.

When you get a new passport, immigration will need to transfer information prior to you getting a new extension. You will need to have:

•   Thai Form to change to new passport (attached)
•   Old Passport
•   Copies of All used pages
•   New Passport
•   Copies of All used pages

There may be another requirement in having a letter from your GVT asking Thailand to change to the new passport.  I had one and added to the package, KCI kept it.   

This service is supposed to be free but KCI is charging 500 baht (no receipt provided).  This happened to me but I was warned by my Brit buddy that they did it to him. 

The Form is attached and can be filled in using word.

And lastly, if there are other dummies out there like me that need help, you are welcome to come to my internet shop and we'll put together the packet for you, make all the necessary copies (to include a 4x6 photo), and if you bring a memory card/stick, will save all the information for you. 

Note that actual income verification is not a service we provide. 

PM me to make an appointment.

Keith, when you say " Proof of income.  I have used both a bank statement and letter from Embassy, both worked. " did you mean you
used the "combination" method for your extension.

That is: Embassy letter XXXX Bht + Thai bank account statement (letter) = more than 800K Baht.

If that was the case, was the money in your Thai bank seasoned for 3 months?

I did not word that clearly as I used a bank statement last year and this year I used a Embassy statement. 

Verification of income may need a whole topic onto itself.  I made a mistake of adding my TW to my bank, immigration then said we had to have 1.6 million baht in the bank.  But I am transferring 800K baht to a my name only account. 

And getting an income statement from the US Embassy is really easy, except for the $50 charge.   

I have heard that you can combine both earning and bank statement, but I don't have that issue.

Keith - Just for the sake of good order, TM8 is only one-sided.

When you add Nookie's oversized picture it goes to 2 pages.  But yes you are correct.

When using the combination method the money does not need to be seasoned in your bank account for 3 months.

That is the law, but I have heard of a couple of offices interpreting it differently.

Maybe our budding reporter GL could check with KC when he next goes there.  thumbup

KC says 3 months seasoning on combo.
