Can I Extend My Non-Immigrant O Visa in Thailand Without a Border Run?
Hi, I have a German Passport and am currently in Thailand on an 90 days Non-Immigrant Visa, Type „O“, single Entry. For obvious reasons I would like to extend my stay. Any chance to extend the visa, get new visa without Visa-Border-run? If Border-Run necessary, does it make difference if I go by plane to Kuala Lumpur or by bus to Myamar? How much extension can I get at all? Thanx!
Answer summary
The user inquires about extending their 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa Type O, single entry, for a German passport holder in Thailand. They seek information on extending the visa without a border run, alternatives to border runs (by plane to Kuala Lumpur or bus to Myanmar), and how long of an extension can be obtained. Responses clarify that the Non-Immigrant O visa can typically be extended for 2 months at the immigration office, and detailed options for maintaining a longer stay are discussed, including the possibility of obtaining a 30-day visa exempt entry through a border run.

OPTod Daniels I will, this question was just in case that by April 11th Myanmar will have closed its border too for Europeans....

it is actually an 'application of extension denied" 7 day stamp that gives you a week to leave thailand and costs 1900baht
You're better off going to the border, stamping out of thailand, stamping in and out of another country and stamping right back into thailand to get a NEW 30 day visa exempt entry stamp

OPSorry for the confusion. And thanks for reopening. I got the visa because i am 59. Did not have to say/prove if retired or not, just show I have enough money on my account

OPOk. Cannot match requirements for one year visa. Propably border run then before the end of my current visa.

you cannot "extend the visa". You could only receive the "extension of permit of stay" if you meet the requirements for a 1-year extension as described by Robert and Tod, above. If you don't meet the requirements, the only way of staying in Thailand for yet another while, is by getting a tourist visa on any embassy or consulate in a neighbouring country, or by doing a border run which will get you a 30-day visa exempt entry

Then you visit your Immigration Office, ask the hand out for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age and make the copies, tick the list and when all done apply for this extension.

You COULD get a year extension ONLY by meeting the financial requirement of 800K baht in a thai bank account for 2 months BEFORE you apply for the extension.
Other than that there is no extension available to you unless you're married to a thai national :(

If u have O visa u can extend it for 2 more months at Imigration office.
Robert *******
not always, depends on the reason why he got this visa

Border run to Myanmar or Laos to receive another 30 day visa exempt stamp which can be extented for another 30 days in Thailand. My best guess.
Marco *******
yes try first, its the best idea. i guess its just age over 50 visa with apartment right
@Stefan ***********
?Robert *******
I would go for the 1 year Extension of Stay at Immigration office, but that depends on the reason why he got the visa
