Date you can apply for an extension of stay?

[Mango Bob]

My current extension of stay ends Jul 27, 2019.  How many days prior to this date can I go and do my extension.  I want to do it in June just to be safe if the insurance does apply for extension of stay?

[jacko45k]

Most offices say 30 days. I believe Chang Wattana will accept 45 days. 

[Henryford]

Mine is the same 20th July, i will be going on the 20th June.

[Pib]

All depends on your IO....varies...either 30 or 45 days. Bangkok/CW does 45 days...each year I've renewed my retirement extension of stay at CW between the 40-45 point.

Chiang Mai 45 days before...

Thank you for your answers.  I will just go to immigration and ask about there policy.

 

Mod you can close this if you wish.

One month prior which is a good thing as extension of stay requirements are forever changing best to do it earlier to be on the safe side.

You can apply up to 45 days early. So that is about June 6th.

Thanks ubonjoe.

Can you advise on the medical insurance requirement.

Given my  Non O retirement visa was issued on 23rd April ,Is medical insurance a requirement when applying for the extension?

 

I have a Thai Social Security Office heath care card  , but im not sure if that is acceptable in voiding the need for medical insurance.

Nothing has been confirmed about it being required for extensions of stay based upon retirement. At this time it is only for those applying for a OA long stay visa at a embassy.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Until the requirements come out officially it is not possible to answer that question.

Not until you get sick or have an accident and need hospitalisation.

I think you are fully aware that I was referring to the extension application.

Is there any options to do it earlier than 45 days example you work abroad and will not be in the country when visa expires.

Some office will do them earlier with a good reason and showing a ticket out of the country.

Thanks ubonjoe.... my understanding was that the  medical cover was required for Non Immigrant O -Retirement visa.

So just to confirm what you say,......that medical cover is not a requirement?

There is nothing official that states proof of insurance will be required for extensions.

If it does come about it will not happen any time soon. It could be many months before they do anything official (issue a police order with a effective date).

You should have not answered if you are going to act immature.  You don't know if I am 5 minutes to the immigration office or 3 hours.

Just return back from Ratchaburi immigrations.  They told me 30 days.  I asked if I could do it a little earlier by 7 days and they told me Yes.  So I am all set in case, at least no insurance this year if at all.

[Dania2019]

Just for sure / up to one month before
