Dears,

I might need to travel abroad for a month 5-6 weeks before my retirement Visa expires.

Question:  Is it possible  to renew the Retirement Visa e.g. 7 weeks before it expires?

Thanks a lot

John

No. 45 days is usually the earliest (only 30 days at some offices).

45 days early at CW.

Is it a Visa issued in home country or an extension issued inside thailand ? If it is actually a visa, you cant renew it inside thailand, if it is an extension you are talking about , travel for a month then come back and do your extension before the 6 week expiry. Most offices will only do extension under/or one month before expiry.

I hear some agencies can arrange the extension earlier, for example they were cramming them in before the 1 Mar change

Phuket, 30 days BUT if u go in with  a plane ticket an reason why u will be out of country ( mom dying) they will consider it.

I got one once 2 months before

Last year I was told in Jomtien only 30 days possible

NongKhai 45 days, i had a good reason , but really don't know if that was of any importance, all i know is the i.o. counted the days on her fingers and went on with it.

If you're travelling 5-6 weeks before and have an office like CW that allows 45 days you'll be ok. 7 weeks is just over, but 45 days is 6½ weeks so it's doable if you're well organised. 

Dears,

Thank y'all very much for your feedback !! 

Didn't mention I'm living in Bangkok (CW).

45 days will work for me.
