Wanted to share my recent ( yesterday) experience renewing Non-O retirement visa / extension

 

Put myself in last minute jam thinking I had plenty of time. Not! Everything worked out great.

 

Ubonjoe advised what was needed (how/when/what) to get done. Including links to printable documents 

To fill in made everything painless. All was done within a week.

 

Appointment at US Embassy was advised by Ubonjoe and another forum member appointments available

in 2 days to book it!  as well given link to make appointment. 

 

US Embassy Bangkok (Consulate Citizens office) income affidavit. In and out in 10 minutes. 

 

Thai Immigration Udon Thani -  Transfer Visa to.New Passport, Renewed 1 Year Non-O, 90 day check in slip

in and out 30 minutes. Next check in September. 

 

One question at Immigration which I didn’t prepare have pre prepared....... Do you like Isaan food. 

 

Its amazing what others do for nothing to make our life easier. Thanks to all it’s very much appreciated! 

 

I was typically a hot head but learning (it takes time). Have curtesy towards others be kind to them and in return 

they’re nice to you. 

 

Thanks to All! 

 

 

 

 

 

thank you for sharing your experience and new found wisdom.

Next year watch for the embassy outreach in February or March in Khon Kaen (most likely) or Udon (check here in February https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/consular-outreach/). 

You would be well within the 6 months allowed for your income affidavit.
