I know it is possible to get a retirement extension from a Non Immigrant O, I have one.

Is it possible to do the same with a Non Immigrant B?

Is the process broadly the same?

The FAQ just states Non Immigrant, but I've been told it's not possible to with a B, just an O.

Thank you.

The rule says:

(1) The alien has obtained a temporary visa (NON-IM)

So Yes any Non Imm Visa will do.

2.22 In the case of a retiree: Permission will be granted for a period of not more

than 1 year at a time.

(1) The alien has obtained a temporary visa (NON-IM);

(2) The applicant is 50 years of age or over;

(3) Proof of income of not less than Baht 65,000 per month; or

(4) Account deposit with a bank in Thailand of not less than

800,000 Baht as shown in the bank account for the past 3 months at the filing date of the application. For the first year, the applicant should have that amount in his bank account for not less than 60 days or

(5) Annual income plus bank account deposit totaling not less

than Baht 800,000 as of the filing date of application
