Retirement Extension for Dummies ver 2015

[urleft]

They gave me a two sided one page form to complete. On one side was the "Acknowledgement of Conditions for Permitted continuation of stay in the Kingdom of Thailand" and on the other side was "Acknowledgement of Penalties of Overstay".

Just curious was this the overstay form & the terms / conditions of stay form?
These are what they use in Bangkok;

Those look like the forms attached on Post #1 of this thread.

They are very long on speculation and very short on how this is exactly going to be implemented.. It also doesn't mention if foreigners get this "visa" outside the country at a thai consulate BEFORE winging their way here, or get it inside the country at a local immigration office.

Please note they just approved the "rough draft" of this "miracle visa" and there's nothing really hashed out as in how it will be implemented, how it will actually work AND there is no roll-out date either.
In summary;
10-year visa for people over 50
- price of visa 10K baht
- over 50 years of age
- monthly income of 100K baht OR minimum deposit of 3million baht in a thai bank which cannot be touched for one year
- health insurance for one year with $1,000USD for out-patient care and $10,000USD in-patient care per policy year
- 90 day reporting still must be done
- visa can be extended another 5 years after the first 5

No article that I found in engrish or thai mentions if this is sold as a multi-entry visa or not.

Also no article mentions this is in ANY WAY replacing any type of existing yearly extension of stay (got inside the country at a thai immigration office) or any current visa type (gotten outside the country at a thai consulate). Although they do use the term "Long-Stay" which is used to denote ANY visa with an A after the type (O-A, B-A, ED-A, etc).


The ray of sunshine blocked by clouds, albeit facts are facts. I remain cautiously optimistic.

Sorry the quote thing didn't work quite right. Only the last line is mine.

Yes these images look similar to the two sided form I had to complete.

I am having an Issue with the layout of the TM8 and TM7 word document. It downloads as attached with the Thai writing overlaying the English writing. Can anyone help out? 

[Starman]

Check that the doc. format is compatible with the version of word you are using.

[fishy]

I think it is compatible? Opens with word 2013? My computer saying no problems with compatibility? Is there somewhere I can download it in a PDF file so I can just print it out and fill it in with a pen?

[fishy]

Problem solved... Found a link to a PDF TM8 web site. http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/pdf/tm8.pdf

Good afternoon B.E users. There are a lot of pages now so could someone who knows tell me how many weeks in advance can you re-make the retirement visa, mine is due for renewal 9th February 2017. Also do any of you know if Nang Rong Bangkok Bank would know what I was on about when I say I need an account statement for Buriram immigration ?
Cheers in advance.

You actually need a "bank letter for immigration" - best to get this dated on the day you go to immigration.

Immigration rules say 6 weeks but Kap Choeng would only do 1 month. Not sure if this has been tested on Buriram immigration

[Thai Bart]

Thank you CO-CO, have you had any dealings with Nang Rong Bangkok bank or Lam Pli Mat branches as they are the only ones I know of and this will be the first time I have tried this in Buriram.

Maybe this helps (sample letter)

Also make sure you update your bank book with a current dated event.  Not sure how BI will handle but KCI made me update my bank book even though I had the letter dated the day before. 

[Thai Bart]

Thanks urleft and iammike. They said there are no forms to fill in now when you go for renewal, so I will post on here if that is correct when I go next week.

Bart,

I hadn't heard about the no forms on renewal, no forms are needed for 90 day report.  Recommend you this:
