JOMTIEN 90 Day NON-O > 1 YR EXTENSION (RETIREMENT) QUESTION

[Kohsamida]

Getting an Extension with a short term lease:  I got a 90 Day Non-O Visa in Chinag Mai, and it expires on Sep 30.  My condo lease expires Aug 14 and I was planning to rent a condo in Jomtien from Aug 15 thru October 30, but plan to move back to Chaing Mai in November.  Therefore, I would want to apply for the extension in Jomtien.  I have already been told by a reliable source that both applying for an extension from a different province than the Non-O was issued shouldn't be a problem, nor will it be an issue of it being honored by Chaing Mai when I return there in November.

 

My concern is whether my short term lease in Jomtien might present a problem in being approved for the Extension there.

 

Any "informed" thoughts would be appreciated from people who know the Jomtien Imm Office specifically (since offices seem to vary in their policies from one province  to another).

Proof of residence is only to prove your address on the date you apply for an extension. There is no requirement for you to have a long term lease when you apply.

There have been reports that some immigration officers that say otherwise. Jomtien has no such policy and I don't recall any reports of anybody being asked for one.

As usual, thanks so much for your helpful and concise information.  Always appreciated!
