We recommend ALWAYS going to your immigration office and asking for their handout for visa conversion or long term visa extension before you will be applying.

You are showing a handout for visa extension but you are trying to do a visa conversion so this handout means nothing to you.

If you had gone beforehand and asked for their handout for visa conversion, they would have told you at that time they do not do visa conversion to retirement visa and you could have planned accordingly before gathering your documents.

IF u have the 800,000 in a bank go to the embassy in Vientiane for single entry NON O

obviously Nong Khai doesn;t do conversions

SO if u use an agent it wont be thru Nong Khai immigration

Can I convert my Non-ED visa to a yearly extension based on retirement in Chiang Mai, or do I need a 90-day Non-O visa?
