If you are British (as it may be different for other nations) and I am not 100% certain but I think you must now be in your country of origin before you can obtain a none immigrant ‘o’ multi entry visa

I believe that you could just be in any country other than Thailand to get this visa in the past but I think this has been stopped

Take good advice from the Thai embassy or the British embassy before you loose any cash

The only way you can get it extended inside Thailand, Here is the short list with no detail on the criteria. To be provided if you meet one of these.

!. employment. you have a work permit.

2. you are married to a Thai.

3/ You are studying at a school

4. You invest 3 million Baht in Thailand.

5. Retirement: You are over 50 years old.

Otherwise you will need to go to a Thai Embassy/ Consulate outside Thailand to obtain a new one year multi entry visa..

Can you confirm if you can obtain a new visa from any country outside Thailand or does it have to be from your country that issued your passport

Nationals of Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen must apply in theior own country.

For the retirement visa, some countries will not issue a Non "O" for retirement. They will instruct you to apply in your home country. Cambodia Thai Embassy is one example and does not matter what nationality you are.

The issue with this thread was that the OP was not physically present in the country where the visa was issued (he applied by post via a friend in the UK).

You can still get visas from certain nearby embassies provided you are physically in the country at the time.

EDIT: To the OP of this thread. Unless you can meet the constraints summarised by SunBelt your only choice is a 2 or 3 entry tourist visa from a nearby consulate (unless you want to return to the UK that is).

Spot on Crossy, and when he tried to use the new visa on returning from Cambodia the Thai official made notes in his passport stating he could only stay in Thailand for 30days not the 90 days he hoped for on the new visa

I renewed my passport in Bangkok and then had to go to Thai immigration; they don’t transfer your current visa into your new passport but they do make an entry into your new passport written in Thai, and there was no fee to pay.

You then have to show your old passport with your visa in with your new passport and you can still use your visa.

I had to point out once that I did have a current visa in my old passport that was still valid and they changed the exit date from the 30 days to the correct 90 days so just make sure you’re clear that your visa is still valid when you go to the boarder

When you renew your passport make sure you read the new photo requirements on the passport website as they have strict measurements for the new photo you will need.

You do not have to have the new photo singed to say its you unless there has been a significant change to your appearance

Your new passport will start from the date you apply for it not from the date your old passport runs out and you can renew it up to nine months before it runs out.
