CharlieH Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 You will need to give more info, where you are etc, do you mean an extension based on retirement or an OA Retirement visa ? If the latter, that's available from your home country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 You cannot change visas. If you are on a a 90 day entry from a non-o visa you could apply for a extension of stay based upon retirement at Chaeng Wattana immigration if you have a address for Bangkok.

Get a Non-Imm. O/O-A based on Retirement, or a tourist VISA which can be turned into a Non-O once you get back. Short of that, I think you're hitting your head against a wall. Keep it simple and legal, and you'll be fine... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to show 800k baht in the bank or proof of 65k baht income. They want some proof you are retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need proof of retirement and proof of financials. The guy in the link, a3tsw, got a 1-year Non-O ME (multiple entry) based on retirement in Savannakhet earlier this year (which will require him to exit Thailand every 90 days). If that doesn't work, simply reenter Thailand on a 30 day visa-exempt stamp. Then immediately go to Chaeng Wattana and convert the visa-exempt stamp to a Non-O visa based on retirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand their reasons but i have now been told by 4 visa agencies that savannaket will definitely not issue o visa based on retirement.... This is getting more confusing everyday.. Is it for certain that if i leave and come back 30 day visa exempt that i can apply for an "O" visa at Chaengwattana immigration?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could apply for a 90 day non immigrant visa (category O) entry at a immigration office but must have at least 15 days remaining of 30 day entry or the 30 day extension of it. You would not be able to apply at Chaeng Wattana immigration office. You would have to apply at Nonthaburi immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanoshi Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 What is the enter before date on your current Visa? You need to leave Thailand on the last day, stay overnight, then return the following day in order to get a 30 day Visa exempt entry. If you return before the 'enter before' date you'll be given a further 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
