I entered Thailand with a Non-O Retiree visa (60 days I think) two years ago and I have had two annual extension of stay since.
It’s my understanding that the extension of stay doesn’t affect the visa. So the visa itself is expired, it is just the basis on which the extension of stay was/is granted. Hence there is no visa that can be cancelled.
My LTR got approved today. In the email BOI informs:
: If you are currently on a Thai visa category which needs to be cancelled before receiving LTR such as Non-B, Non-IB, Non-F, Smart Visa, Non-O (except for Non-O Retirement visa, Thai Spouse, Guardian), please terminate the current visa while asking the immigration officer to allow extra days of permission to stay after the cancellation or arrange for the visa cancellation on the same day as the appointment date at the immigration office where you got your current visa from.
So it’s my understanding that Non-O retirement and / or extension of stay don’t need cancellation.
If anyone here has different information please let me know. I would hate to make the trip to Bangkok twice …
