neytil Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Scenario: After several months away, return to Thailand 1 week before retirement extension due date. No time to look for new apartment, so would be in a serviced apartment or hotel. Assuming the hotel files TM30, would an extension be possible. (leaving aside any Test and Go, ASQ changes or assumptions for now) Thank you for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 That may accept it since you just entered the country after a long period of time outside the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritTim Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 In Bangkok, they have been known to accept the explanation that you are staying in a hotel temporarily while looking for a long term rental. There have been reports that some immigration offices will resolutely refuse a one-year extension until you can show a long term rental agreement or similar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expat68 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I had a friend who did two retirement extensions from the same hotel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake Up Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 In October 2021 my friend got an Non O at CW and then a one year extension of stay. His previous extension of stay expired when he was out of Thailand due to Covid. He lives at a Bangkok Marriott hotel only and does not rent condos. Before 2020 he did his extensions of stay at Udon Thani and stayed only in hotels up north for about 10 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daejung Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hello, I had 2 extensions of stay and always gave the adress of an apartment hotel, without any problem. Immigration didn't ask me anything about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 In 2015 I extended mine while stayinig at Grand Residence on second road Jomtien. They did give me a copy of the TM30 and a lease of 6 months with understanding that I could vacate at any time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
