sundaram444 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited September 19, 2018 by Peterw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I wrote you will have enough time to apply for the extension of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answers are completely different for a visa or an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
