60 Minutes blasted after replacing harris word salad…

I got the 60 day Visa Exemption on arrival. Now wish to convert to retirement Visa.

 

QUESTION: Is there a minimum number of days that must still remain on my 60 day Visa when I apply for Retirement?

I think you used to have either a minimum of 15 or 21 days left?

Thanks but I think you have entirely misread my question.

Well I just read it again - do you mean the non-O conversion part?  You cannot avoid that, you can't go straight from exempt to retirement extension, have to get the non-O first.

It's answered in the very first reply in the thread he linked

 

"You should apply for non O with 15+ days remaining on your permission of stay".

Non O can be applied for with minimum 15 days remaining on permission of stay from visa exempt entry.

Note some offices require longer 

CM 21, Phuket 15 working days etc

Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only.

 

Process outlined here

Note: Jomitien were asking for 800k in bank for 2 months prior to application for non O.

The actual rule is 800k on day of application (no seasoning)

Ah there it is:- You should apply for non O with 15+ days remaining on your permission of stay. 

I assume this is so for Chaengwattana office?

 

Thanks to all.

Correct.

Obviously most would add few days. 

You have bank account in place?
