Hi Guys,

My uncle, who's a US citizen, asked this question. At the moment he's been working here in Thailand since last few years with a work permit and extension of stay of Non-B. Once his current Non-B extension of stay ends next month, he plans to extend it by retirement criteria instead. He already has 800 K in the bank since last few months. Is the process just straight forward of being showing up at Retirement extension counter and doing the extension based on retirement criteria? Or does some kind of conversion need to take place from Non-B extension to Non-O ?

Thanks a lot for reading.

He will need a letter from the company he is working for stating the date he will no longer be working so immigration can cancel his current extension. Then he can apply for an extension based upon retirement.

Thanks. The letter from company can be any or last date of his current extension. So how long before he should contact the immigration with this letter in hand so as they could do the needful? Is it a sample process by cancelling the current stamp at non-B counter and then proceed to retirement counter and apply for new extension? Doable same day?

The last day of work can be any date on or before the date the extension ends. How long before the date depends upon the office used but a week at any should not be a problem.

Just have the extension cancels and then apply for the one based upon retirement.

Thanks ubonjoe once again. So the cancelation stamp will give him 7 days to sort out the subsequent retirement extension right?

He would have from the date he goes to immigration to the date his extension ends or the date on the letter.
