Converting visa exemption to retirement extension

[madmen]

I'm currently in Phuket quarantine on a 30 day visa exemption and my retirement extension expired 

 

However I will be going back to pattaya after quarantine and arrive on 17th which is a Saturday 

 

 

 

I believe I need 15 days left on the tourist extension? 

 

What's is the process? Can it be started in Phuket and completed in Pattaya

You should have a 45 day visa exempt entry (changed last year). Check the stamp in your passport.

You can apply for a 30 day extension of your visa exempt entry and then the non-o visa prior to having less than 15 days remaining on it.

You must apply for the 90 day non-o visa entry and a extension of stay based upon retirement at the same office. In your case you will need to both at Pattaya immigration.

What financial proof will you be using to apply for the non-o visa and extension?

It will be 800k

Do you have it in a Thai bank now?

You will need proof it was transferred from abroad unless you have had it in the bank for a long time.

Do you really need the 30 day extension.

Since money is already in bank you can obtain your non O. The 800k only needs to be in bank on day of application.

That non O gives you 90 day permission of stay. In last 30 days obtain your 12 month extension.

What kind of proof is required?

A credit advise from the bank to prove the 800k baht was transferred from abroad.

Since he from Australia he would not be able to use the income option to apply for the non-o visa. The only accept proof of income from a embassy and the Australian embassy does not issue them.

They might consider it if he had 12 months of transfers into a Thai bank from abroad.
