Hi All, My plan is to apply for a retirement visa non-o in Thailand.
Can I arrive with the 30-day visa exemption and then start the process? Will they give me a kind of extension to the 30 days till my non-o is done? What are your suggestions? TIA.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on applying for a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand after arriving on a 30-day visa exemption. Responses indicate that it is possible to start the Non-O application process while on a 30-day entry, but there is no special extension for this visa exemption. A standard 30-day extension can be obtained for 1,900 baht, allowing for a total of 60 days. It is advised to open a bank account to meet the visa requirements and ensure that funds come from abroad. Additionally, obtaining a 90-day single-entry Non-O visa before arriving is suggested as a more convenient alternative.
