But, But, But - we have 8 pages telling us an Extension is Not a Visa 55555!

Do you provide a copy of the last Visa you entered the country with?

 

But but, 

it's not often you are right, but, in this case you are wrong again.

  • just did my 90 day report on my "retirement visa today"  

  • OP if it winds you up that much you should either,   A : Stop reading this board B: Start anger management  

  • Maybe you should be a bit more polite. The op is 100% correct. There is no doubt about it. Maybe if you had spent years on this forum trying to help people as UbonJoe, Lopburi3 and others ha

No, I've never stated that.

The operative word to your question is 'held' and not 'holding' a Visa.

 

Personally I enter my Passport details, then in the 'kind of Visa' section I write 'extension based on retirement', because I no longer hold a valid Visa.

 

Personally, I dont get this... Kind of VISA??  I always write in the TM7 = NON IMMIGRANT "O"... and nothing more....

So what´s all the fuzz about guys...

I never said you stated anything.

You decided to comment on my post without addressing the question, in other words, out of context.

So in your case the extension is related to a " NON IMMIGRANT "O"" kind of visa, in other words a visa extension.

Wrong again.

As others put it in a different way, if you could extend a visa then the same conditions for that visa would continue.

eg, 90 days on each entry. Once you go past the enter by date you can't get any more 90 day entries. 

If I could have extended my past 10 or so multi O visas I would not have been going out of Thailand to get a new one every year or 15 months.

That is because it is dead , gone and useless as a visa except to prove that any extension/permission to stay is based on it's passed legal standing.

Maybe you can point out where I said it "was" a visa or don't you understand the term "related". It would be perfectly valid to use a condensed description of the relationship as a descriptive adjective.

I'm sure you understand the topic and the difference between a Visa and an Extension.

When I was back home recently I went to get a driver's license as my then current one was expiring. I got a new license based on my old license. Was that a new license, a renewal or an extension do you think?

I think everyone knows you are trolling.

You lost the arguement/discussion on visas and extensions so now you want to win points on grammar.

This topic appears to of run its course since it has now turned into a bickering session between a few members.
