Hi All, I'm on a Non O Retirement visa extension out of Chiang Mai. I'm thinking of moving to Pattaya. Can I do my next annual extension down there, or do I have to start afresh with a totally new Visa from there?
Answer summary
You can complete your annual extension for a Non O Retirement visa in Pattaya after moving from Chiang Mai. While initially, the first extension must be from the same immigration office that issued your Non O visa, subsequent extensions can be filed at a different location. Just ensure to file a new TM30 form upon your move.

Normally only your first Extension of Stay from a Non-O purchased in Thailand needs to be from the same Immigration Office that issued the Non-O.

Also, never heard that, only that the first extension has to be for the same reason as the initial Non-imm visa.

I know, so wherever the initial Non-O came from the OP can get the next extension anywhere

I have corrected nothing, tha facr that I put "only" in my first post makes it clear what I was saying knowing that the OP was already on an extension

What? You implied that he had to get his first extension at the office where he got the Non-O (though he never said he got an in country Non-O), I said, he can get the extension anywhere. You contradict yourself with your second post.

Check with your bank as well, see if you can get printouts from Pattaya if your home branch is Chiang Mai.
