ORIGINAL POSTERHi I need to do my first 90 day report in person and I am in Bangkok . I am on a non o (retirement) visa . Does anyone know if an agent can do this ? And if so recommend one ? I know after this i can do it online. Thanks in advance for any advice
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user in Bangkok is seeking advice on whether an agent can handle their first 90-day report in person for a non-O (retirement) visa. Comments suggest that it's often easier to submit the report by mail for a small fee, while some users clarify that only those who have obtained a 12-month extension of stay need to file it. Others note that the user's understanding of the process may need clarification, implying that the requirements can be misunderstood.

Everyone know what he means. Nobody retires for 90 days. Some have nothing better to do and try be so smart on here

@Matthew ********
No, nobody can know what he means, because he is using a common wording which could mean SIX different things . . . . . Now you better come down from your South Carolina Magnolia tree and start to LEARN something. . . . . . I texted this with regards and thanks to Robert Lagas, who wrote this!Once more, because people try to give advice based on what they think is a "Retirement Visa"
First of all, you DO not have to be retired to apply for this visa. You however need to be 50 years or older
Second is that all options have DIFFERENT rules, regulations and requirements.
So please read and try not to give incorrect advice by using the requirements for a different type of visa or extension of stay.
What is a retirement visa?
It is a phrase used by foreigners and Immigration and it could be 6 different types of visa or stay permits, with different rules, regulations and requirements
OR
it could even be an 1 year Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age and willing to sit out the rest of their life inside Thailand.
It is easy to type “retirement visa”, but very difficult to understand which option the person refers to
Options are:
1. Single Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age
2. Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age (it got discontinued by October 2023 and is not available any more)
3. Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age without entry by conversion at local immigration office
4. Non Immigrant O-A visa (Long Stay)
5. Non Immigrant O-X visa
6. Long Term Residency (LTR) visa
7. Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age and willing to sit out the rest of their life inside Thailand (stamp from Immigration, which is not a visa)
ONLY for options 3, 5 and 7 the applicant needs a bank account in Thailand or a Certificate of Income from their Embassy.
Option 2 cannot be applied for any more, since all Thai Embassies and Consulates took it out of the E-visa program.
Option 3 is applied for by conversion of your Visa Exempt Entry or Tourist Visa at your local Immigration Office inside Thailand.
Option 6 is applied for with support of BOI Thailand
Option 7 is applied for at your local Immigration Office AFTER you used a Non-Immigrant visa.
Other options are applied for at a Thai Consulate OR for those countries who are legit, on-line.
Thanks for reading this long explanation.

he is not smart enough to realize that the Dixie Diploma he is waving with, for wealthy Europeans doesn't mean anything better than a wad of toilet paper. I guess he got depressive knowing how dvmb he actually is, and his responses show his useless strugglePhil *******

@Matthew ********
you're not very bright are you. The visa is only 90 days, it's the extension of stays that allow you to retire here.Wayne ********
@Matthew ********
Obviously people don’t read the post 1st 🤣😂Kool *******
@Phil ******
you are some what misinformed. The initial non O visa is 90 days, but you are forgetting the one year extension of that visa, which requires a 90 day report, or pay the bt2000 fine for not reporting.Nongnuch ********
@Kool ******
there is nothing such as a "one year extension of the visa". The only thing Immigration is "extending", is the stay permit. A visa cannot get extended. Actually, a single entry 90-days Non-Imm-O visa becomes invalid & "used" when you enter Thailand. After you entered, you are in Thailand on a stay permit. This stay permit can get "extended" for one year. Buriram Immigration now uses the correct wording for what they are doing, they discontinued calling it "visa extension"Phil *******
@Kool ******
I'm not forgetting it at all, the visa only lasts 90 days so if he's on the visa the 90 day report is not required, he doesn't say he's on extension of stay.Reply to

You don't do 90 day reports on a 90 day non-o visa. You do them 90 days after you obtain a 12 month extension of stay
Wayne ********
@John *********
He’s not on a 90 day non o visa. He’s on a retirement visa 🤣😂John **********
@Wayne *******
no such thing. He might be on an extension of stay based on being over 50 but that's not what he saysMatthew *********
@John *********
you say no such thing but it's funny the stamp says different RETIREMENTJohn **********
@Matthew ********
do you mean the stamp given for an extension of stay? Yes it does but that's not a visa.Matthew *********
@John *********
the point everyone uses the term. No ever at a bar and said oh I am extension of stay. 99 out 100 they are going to say retirement visa. It doesn't take a genius to know what the op meant. Everyday people are so anal about never saying retirement visa.John **********
@Matthew ********
whatever. If people want accurate answers they need to supply accurate informationWayne ********
@John *********
Ok he didn’t say he was over 50, but did say he was on a retirement visa which is a 1 year visa in most casesNongnuch ********
@Wayne *******
he is not on a "retirement visa". He has no visa any more. He is on a "1-year extended stay permit". A stay permit is not a visa. There is nothing such as a "one year retirement visa"Wayne ********
@Nongnuch *******
He clearly stated He’s on a non o retirement visa.Greg ***********
@Wayne *******
even if he said, he would be on a "one year Non O/A retirement visa", this would also be wrong, as the 365-days Non-Imm-O/A visa officially is not a "retirement visa", but a "Longstay Visa"Greg ***********
@Wayne *******
Fact is, there is nothing such as a "non O retirement visa". You can be on a 90-days single entry Non-Imm-O Retirement visa, but when you enter Thailand on this visa, the visa itself becomes invalid, and you will be in Thailand on a "stay permit". This stay permit can be extended to a "one year extension of (the) stay permit based on retirement". Many people call this extended stay permit a "retirement visa", but this is incorrect wording. Hua Hin Immigration, as the prime example, won't give you any more "retirement visa extensions", because there is no such thing. They only extend your TEMPORARY STAY PERMIT. I hope this helps and clarifies the clouds that prevent straight thinkingJohn **********
@Wayne *******
he said he was on a Non-O visa which is a 90 day visa. I realise some people incorrectly refer to a 12 month extension of stay as visa which it is not, and why I answered the way I didReply to
