--- Non O 1 Year Extension Question ---

Hello and good morning.  I recently got a 90 day Non O in Penang, for Guardian/Thai Child Dependent (I've seen it called different names in different places).  A couple days ago I went to Phuket Immigration and got the list of documents needed for my first 1 year extension, but I forgot to ask one question there.  I read somewhere that with my 90 day Non O visa I must wait 45 days or more before I can apply for the one year extension, do you know if that is true?  I thought I would ask here and hopefully save the driving and waiting in line at the office for one quick question.

Thanks everyone

Yes, you apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay during the last 45 days of your admitted until period.

You should ask your Thai Immigration office...

But usually you can apply for the one year extension of stay within 30 to 45 days of the ending date of the Non O Visa you have in your passport.
