Can I extend my Non-O visa in Thailand if my bank money seasoning completes on Oct 1, but my 90-day period ends on Oct 12?

I’m in Roi-et on a non-O (retirement), and plan to apply for an extension. I have the money in kasikorn bank, but the seasoning will be complete on Oct. 1 (some difficulties getting that set up)and my 90 days is up on the 12th. Does that give enough time for processing or will I have to leave the country for a time?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is in Roi-et on a non-O (retirement) visa and is concerned about timing for applying for an extension. They have sufficient funds in their bank but are unsure if they can apply before the expiration of their initial 90 days, given their bank funds will meet the seasoning requirement on October 1, while their 90-day visa expires on October 12. Comments confirm that they can apply anytime within 30 days of their visa expiring as long as the seasoning requirement is met, thus reassured that they have ample time to complete their application.

Sorry to jump in, I also do my yearly extensions at Roi Et Im. They are very easy and I am usually in and out under one hour. Its a very quiet office. You can apply 45 days before expiry date.

Sorry, I misread the doc. It does say that is just for OA.

“Yes, I did get that from the Roi-et office. Easier than most, I think. Bank docs, lease, and health insurance is all that was specified.”

Definitely go to that office and get their hand out listing the requirements as far as documents, bank letter, statement, photo, map, lease, etc so you know what you need so that you can apply and get it done in one try.

This is a general list of what is required BUT it is not immigration office specific, that's why I said go get the hand out from your office 🙂

there is no health insurance required on the Non-O visa, that's only for a Non-OA visa

Well if your initial 90 day Non-O stamp is up on the 12th of Oct, and the seasoning of the funds (2 months before you apply) will be complete on the 1st you have more than enough time to apply for the year extension.

You can apply any time you have 30 days or less left on your stamp and meet the seasoning requirements.

Meaning any time from a month before your stamp runs out until the very day your stamp runs out..
