My retirement visa expired while I was traveling in the U.S. On return to Thailand, I got a 30-day entry visa which expires Sept. 29, 2017. I live in Pai, Maehongson, but have no paper to prove residence. Can I apply for a Retirement Visa and a Non-Immigrant O or O-A in Maehongson without proving residence, or is there a form I can get from Immigration? I have financial documentation from the U.S. Consul in Chiang Mai, plus photos. What else do I need? Thank you for any help.
