Retirement Visa Extension

[localexpat]

hello

Any advice or assistance on the following appreciated

I have a retirement visa and multiple entry which finishes on 10th January.

I live upcountry and get me visa and extensions done there.

I have been requested to go to another country for about 5 weeks on or about 7tlh December.

This means I will arrive back in Thailand after my retirement and multiple entry visa expires.

It would be ideal to extend my retirement visa early.

I have heard you may be able to extend 30days early but I am looking for more than that.

Thanks in advance

You can only ask - they sometimes will accept earlier if you can show confirmed travel plans that would prevent doing at the normal last 30 days - but failing that it is not the end of the world as first or 10th all require the same paperwork - only an extra 2,000 baht for the non immigrant visa entry would be required.
