Retirement O Extension- What to do?

[carlyai]

I leave from Australia on 17th March. My Visa extension is due on 22nd May and I'm not sure I will be back to Thailand by that date.

Are there any special cases where I could do my Visa extension before I leave on the 17th March?

What to do if I can't make it back by the 22nd May?

An agent might be able to get it done earlier than normal

Ok thanks. 

Any agents in Kalasin?

I have to get some scar tissue removed from my knee, so not sure when I can fly. 

Would rather get it done before I go. One less worry.

I believe you can get your yearly visa extension 1 month in advance.

Not sure if the Re-entry permit is attached to the old visa though ... you should ask.

I only know agents in Pattaya, maybe go to your Immigration office and ask them, can they do it early if you pay an extra fee (nudge nudge wink wink)

You can always start over, I did that one time.
Tourist visa on arrival  >>  Non-O 90 days  >>  12 month extension.
