My neighbour has been visiting Thailand over the last couple of years using tourist visas, and now the 60 days on arrival.
However, last week when he arrived the IO started asking questions, pointing out that he had been in Thailand for about 8 months of the last year on tourist visa.
As he intends to visit regularly, he feels it best to obtain a 1 year retirement extension.
He already has a bank account, but is not willing to deposit the 800K
He was hoping to extend the 60 days, but is worried this could invite more questions and potential refusal.
I have suggested using an agent, what is the time frame to convert from a 60 days on arrival to Non O and the 1 year extension ?
if there is an existing thread please advise, otherwise thanks for any advice.
