Phuket Agent to assist w retirement or ed visa?

Featured Replies

Here on travel visa, expired last month.  Is it possible to get a retirement or education visa before July 31. Any agents to recommend? Cost? Feel free to message directly if desired. Thanks.

For a retirement extension you don't need a agent and in my opinion it's a waste of money.

When you are in the country on a visa or visa exemption and use the amnesty till 31 July you should be able to apply for a Non-O visa so you can upgrade to a extension based on retirement.

If you need more information or guidance how to do it you can send a email to the Immigration Volunteers at [email protected]

Thanks merijn. Great resource I've never heard of. I found their website too.  Unfortunately my visa has expired and I am here under amnesty. According to @ubonjoe, I won't be able to apply for non-o (at least unassisted): "..immigration does not consider the "automatic extension" under the amnesty as an extension of your 60 day entry from a tourist visa. Others have tried already."

agent aren't necessary IF you have all the correct paperwork/money in the bank

otherwise Agents can be very helpful overcoming Obstacles and its NOT a waste of money

It's worth to sent them a email as so far i know Phuket immigration will issue a Non-O while in the amnesty.

I could be wrong off-course but better safe then sorry.

I dropped by Phuket immigration as I was in the area. Unfortunately the "upstairs" volunteers had gone home for the day. A downstairs volunteer directed me outside to I believe the retirement window just past the drive-thru. I asked an IO there about my situation and he said I could not get a non-o as my visa was expired.
