I’ve just extended my 60 day TV for another 30 days. To be able to stay a further 3 months once the 30 day extension is up, could I apply for an ‘O’ visa based on retirement (I’m 55) even though I will be leaving Thailand at the end of June?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual has recently extended their 60-day tourist visa by 30 days and is inquiring about the possibility of applying for a Non-O visa based on retirement at age 55, despite planning to leave Thailand at the end of June. Comments suggest that applying for the Non-O visa is feasible but may be complicated by timing. It requires an application 14-21 days before the current extension expires, alongside proof of having 800,000 Thai baht in a personal bank account in Thailand. Alternatively, some contributors recommend a visa run to Laos to obtain a new tourist visa for a longer stay.
