Retirement visa -Expiry

[sundaram444]

To Thai Visa Forum
I am a  Retired Canadian citizen with one year Thailand  Retirement Visa .This visa expires on October 02 , 2018.

I have been visiting family and relatives in Canada.

I will return to Thailand on 24th September, with 8 days left on Retirement visa. 
Is there any problem? I will renew my visa on 31 st at Korat Immigration Office. 

I would appreciate a quick reply .

If it is a Visa (not an extension), When you return on 24th you will be stamped in for 1 year, no need to renew anything on 31st. If it is an extension with a re-entry permit you will be stamped in for 8 days, and would extend in that period, pending funds in the bank etc.

He must have a re-entry permit if it is an extension of stay however.  If on an extension and does not have re-entry permit he needs to obtain a new non immigrant O visa prior to extending again.

I assume you actually have an extension of stay based upon retirement not a visa. Do you have a re-entry permit?

If you have a re-entry permit you will be stamped in until October 2nd. That should be enough to apply for the extension if you can meet the.financial requirements.

There are only 30 days in September and the 30th is a Sunday.

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I had done this last year , with 20 days before the expiry of the one year visa and obtained the new one year visa again at Korat Immigration office. I was in doubt about the  short number of days remaining on O-visa.

You apparently do not have a visa. You have a one year extension of stay issued by immigration.

As I wrote you will have enough time to apply for the extension of stay.

He should be stamped in until Oct 2nd, which is when his current permission to stay expires.

Best to do it before then if possible. If it was me I would be at immigration on the 25th or 26th.

You need to stop referring to an extension as a Visa, otherwise people will give you answers that are relevant to a visa. The answers are completely different for a visa or an extension.
