Non-O extension — Pattaya Jomtien
A Jomtien-specific filing guide for a Non-Immigrant holder applying at the office responsible for a Chonburi address: jurisdiction, TM7 evidence, bank questions, office facts and checks before submission.
Go to a section
The national retirement-extension criterion uses age, qualifying Non-Immigrant status and one of three financial routes: income, Thai-bank deposit or a permitted combination. The exact thresholds and balance timing are maintained on the retirement Non-O owner page, rechecked 13 September 2026. This guide focuses on Jomtien jurisdiction, local evidence questions and the THB 1,900 application fee.

Intent owner: the retirement Non-O guide maintains the current national thresholds, seasoning and post-approval balance rules from Immigration Bureau Order 12/2568, clause 2.22. Those numerical rules were rechecked 13 September 2026. This page does not restate them as a second source of truth; Jomtien may request additional local evidence for the selected route.
National documents were rechecked 13 September 2026 against Order 12/2568, clause 2.22, linked by Phetchaburi Immigration’s official index, item 1.26. The BOI OSOS fee FAQ separately confirms the TM7 and re-entry charges below. No new Jomtien-specific operational checklist was verified; the office details retain their 23 August source date.
Who this guide is for
This guide is for a person preparing an in-country retirement-extension application at the office responsible for a Chonburi address. It is not a first-time consular visa guide or the national numerical-rule owner. Check the current Non-O retirement criterion first; for O-A differences, see Non-O vs O-A.
Where to apply — Jomtien Immigration
For a Chonburi address, confirm jurisdiction with Chonburi Immigration. Its official service directory, checked 9 October 2026, publishes the Jomtien office at 75/265 Soi 5, Jomtien Beach Road, Moo 12, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chonburi 20150, with weekday service periods of 08:30–12:00 and 13:00–16:30. These are office-level facts, not a promise that a particular application, walk-in or queue will be accepted that day. Use the Jomtien office guide for current contact numbers, holidays, service boundaries and the absence of an official wait-time dataset.
Official core documents and local checks
- TM7 application form.
- Passport: clause 2.22 lists a passport copy. Bring the original and ask Jomtien which copied pages it needs.
- Financial proof for the selected national route. Use the canonical Non-O retirement guide for current thresholds and balance timing, then confirm Jomtien's bank-letter, statement, passbook-update and income-evidence format.
- Bank certificate and account copy for a deposit route, from a Thai commercial bank or statutory specialised financial institution. Confirm the particular account with the handling office.
- Local address evidence: ask which accommodation record and occupancy evidence the office requires for your file.
- THB 1,900 TM7 application fee, rechecked 13 September 2026 in the BOI OSOS fee FAQ.
Bank letter — where extensions fail
Clause 2.22, checked 13 September 2026, lists a deposit certificate and account copy for the bank route. It does not say a mobile screenshot replaces those documents.
National rule boundary: the full-deposit and combination routes do not use one interchangeable later balance floor. The exact seasoning and retention rules were rechecked 13 September 2026 and are maintained on the retirement Non-O owner page. Use that rule first, then ask Jomtien how it wants the relevant account history documented.
Confirm with Jomtien: the bank-letter issue date, passbook update, statement period and accepted account type are not verified as one current local checklist here. Ask the office before ordering documents.

Timing window
The national criterion rechecked 13 September 2026 does not establish one universal Jomtien “apply within 30 days” service window. Ask Jomtien when it will accept the application and apply before the current permitted-stay date. Processing time is not guaranteed; leave time for additional evidence.
After approval
- Verify stamp dates immediately in passport.
- Plan re-entry permit before any trip — extension does not create multi-entry on single-entry visas.
- Review the separate TM47 reporting guide for the address-reporting cycle that applies to the current permission.
- Keep a secure copy of the permission stamp and application receipt.
Common Jomtien rejection reasons
No complete current Jomtien rejection dataset is verified here. A useful pre-filing check is whether your status, financial evidence and document dates match the application you are making. Ask the office to resolve any gap before the permitted stay expires.
Non-O vs O-A at extension time
Non-O and Non-O-A are different categories and do not share one evidence pack. Confirm the category shown in the passport, then use the maintained O-A insurance requirements for the current insurance rule instead of transferring it into this Non-O checklist.

FAQ
Can I extend at Bangkok Immigration instead?
Use the office responsible for the registered address. A Chonburi resident should confirm jurisdiction with Jomtien rather than assume another province will accept the application.
Joint bank account?
Clause 2.22 does not set out a joint-account allocation formula. Ask Jomtien whether the proposed account and balance evidence are accepted for your application before relying on them.
Can I work on a retirement-based permission?
The retirement category does not itself authorise employment. Work authorisation depends on the immigration category and labour rules; check with the relevant government office.
First extension vs renewal
Both applications are assessed against the current national criterion, but the evidence available in the passport and bank history differs between a first extension and a later annual application. Bring the prior endorsement and ask Jomtien whether it needs any additional local continuity evidence.
Using an agent — when it helps
An agent cannot change the published eligibility criteria. If using a representative, confirm whether personal attendance is still required, obtain a written fee breakdown and never rely on an offer to bypass the financial rule. This site does not publish an unverified agent price range.
