Can I apply for a Retirement Visa after entering Thailand on a Tourist Visa from Myanmar?

And seeing as I believe the O/P has their answers, I would say we're done.

if you want this thread opened back up message me

Try 3 hours in Malaysia, & next time put your nationality

WHERE are you in thailand? That will control what border(s) you can bounce out/back at

Nope what you're talking about is doing a border bounce, where you exit/re-enter and come in on a free stamp 60 day visa exempt entry (you're not going to get a visa from any thai consulate)

There's a couple things wrong with your idea

First you can't get a tourist visa by bouncing out/back at the border with any country as I said you'd get just a 60 day free stamp visa exempt entry.

Second the only burma border open is the one in Ranong province at the pier where they go by boat to Kawthaung, so the question is where are you in Thailand?

Sadly for you, if you can't hit the 2 month seasoning requirement you would have to start the whole process over again from zero.

The process would work like this

**Bounce out/back to come in on a 60 day free stamp entry

**Apply FIRST for the 90 day Non-O visa at your immigration office, pay the 2000baht,

**Wait the review period, go back get the Non-O visa and new 90 day stamp inked in

THEN

**Wait until you had 30 days or less left on that 90 day stamp (and your funds were seasoned the 2 months) and then after that you could apply for the year extension of stay for 1900baht

That's how you start all over from scratch and you need to check with your immigration office to see if they can even issue in country Non-Imm visas (some can't).

If your office can't do it, you'd have to really go on a "visa run" and go to a thai consulate in a nearby country to apply for a new 90 day Non-O visa online thru the eVisa system once you're in that country.
