Lim Yuan Hai Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hi Guys, I am currently living in Bangkok on Non OA. I would like to apply to get Non-O based on retirement.Can anyone advise the detail requirements for non-O based on retirement, how can I apply and how long does it take to get it? By the way, my visa exempt entry here is 2 weeks. Where is much easier and faster to get Non-O, apply in Bangkok or Laos?Can you recommend if there are reliable agents? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is much easier and faster to get Non-O, apply in Bangkok or Laos I answered your question in your other thread. You can obtain a non O in consulate such as Vientiane or here in Thailand from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. You state in your OP that you are in Thailand on a non O-A and later refer to currently on visa exempt. Confusing.

ubonjoe Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 When you apply for a non-o visa at immigration it will take about 2 weeks for the application to be approved. That is why you need at least 15 days remaining on your stay to apply. Requirements are here: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022C1_09.pdf You could also apply for the non-o visa in Vientiane or Savannakhet Laos instead of just doing a border hop to get a visa exempt entry. requirements for Savannakhet is here. https://savannakhet.thaiembassy.org/th/publicservice/non-immigrant-visa-o-visa-retirement-in-thailand?page=5d84a44c15e39c26b400453e&menu=5d84a44c15e39c26b400453f For just a border hop doing it in Cambodia would be the nearest location if in Bangkok.

After non-OA expire or I leave Bangkok without re-enter permit then I have to re-enter Bangkok using visa exempt to apply for Non O, If so, I will get 2 weeks visa. My English is no good. Or Can I cancel Non OA at the immigration? Can I apply Non O after that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives you time to apply for your non O retirement with 15 days remaining of the 45 permit. Subsequently obtain your 12 month extension 2 months later. How long do you have remaining on current permission of stay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Myanmar national, so I think my visa exempt entry is 2 weeks instead of 45 days. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also cannot apply for the 30 day extension. The only way you could stay longer would be to apply for a single entry tourist visa that will allow a 60 day stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
