PETERHOF Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Does anyone know if it is possible to apply for a one year retirement extension of stay (based on OA visa) in a Thai Immigration Office with a passport whose remaining validity date is less than one year ?

Extensions from a non O-A require 40/400 health insurance. The OP would need cover till date of expiry of pp or longer to receive extension up to date of his pp expiry Edited October 13, 2021 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why many folk that had a non O-A at some point kill it off by exit Thailand without a reentry permit and obtain a non O retirement. Can do that by entering thailand visa exempt and obtain a non O in Thailand or obtain non O at consulate outside of Thailand. Extensions to non O retirement do not require insurance. If you had a non O-A and are married you can do extensions based on marriage and insurance is not required.
