Firstly, thanks to everyone who helps run an informative and valuable forum. Hope you can help
Home country: UK
Thai base : Hua Hin
Funds : Appropriate in Thai Bank Account since 3 November 2018
Current Status : on 30 day exempt, entered 12 February 2019
Age: 50+
Intentions : I am retiring here in Hua Hin and want to convert my current 30 day exempt to Non O, and then apply for yearly extension.
Help please : Can I do this? Can I do this at Hua Hin Immigration? If I can what forms and evidence will I need to submit with the application for the Non O and then for the extension application?
I am returning to the UK in June for 3 months and may apply for the Non O Multi Entry that you have suggested to others allowing almost 2 years stay and multi "in and outs" which would help as I plan to explore neighbouring countries over the coming years
Thanks in advance.
