Retirement visa

[whaleboneman]

Coming back to Songkhla and applying for non O retirement visa next month. Can someone please tell me if I need to go to Hat Yai immigration or can I go to Songkhla town immigration? Thanks in advance.

You can't apply for a visa at Immigration. You have to apply at an embassy or consulate. 

 

Once you get it, Immigration can extend it for you if you meet their criteria.

 

FYI I think the old Immigration office in Songkhla Town closed over a decade ago.

Thanks for clarifying that Steve. But my question remains-does anyone know if I can do that at Songkhla town or do I need to go to Hat Yai?
