Mango Bob Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Most offices say 30 days. I believe Chang Wattana will accept 45 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykopite Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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. 17 minutes ago, thelovedone said: 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. Until the requirements come out officially it is not possible to answer that question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some office will do them earlier with a good reason and showing a ticket out of the country. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Bob Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 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.
