You could use that to apply for the extension or a OA long stay visa at the embassy in London. It does not have to be a pension. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, immigrations won't force you to change your visa as long as you meet the requirements for your current visa. You may qualify many visas, including a tourist visa. But, it's up to you which one to choose. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero 7710 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Are you asking about applying for an extension of stay from immigration, in February, or a new visa from the embassy in London? If an extension of stay from immigration in Thailand; If you provide income of 65K pm or more, or have 800K or more cash in a Thai bank they might process your extension based on retirement. Unless you're planning to work that it isn't a problem. If applying for a visa from the embassy in London; You can apply for any visa you qualify for. They won't insist you apply for any particular type. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
