Hello,
1) I am entering Thailand in Bangkok next week on a 90 days Non-O visa obtained abroad. I want to apply for the 1 year retirement extension in Phuket. Is it allowed? Will I have problems?
2) Last February I entered Thailand in Phuket on visa exemption and extended 30 days. Moved to Bangkok and tried Covid extension.
They finally issued it but after long discussion as they claimed I should have requested the Covid extension in Phuket.
Any clue on point 1?
