I have an O retirement Visa for 90 days. Is it possible to get 30 days extension so i get 120 days or do i have to make a short Visarun? ( For the next year i put 800.000 Bath in a bank account so i can get it for one year👍). Thanks in advance and have an amazing day 😊👍
Answer summary
The individual inquired about possibly extending their 90-day O retirement visa by 30 days or if they needed to do a visa run. Responses clarified that there are only two options for extending a non-O visa: a 1-year extension based on the same reason for the visa's issuance or a 60-day extension if they have a Thai spouse or child. Given that the individual has sufficient funds in a bank account, they can apply for the 1-year extension instead of opting for a visa run.

If you already have the money in the bank for two months you can apply for a 1 year extension for 1900 baht. Then you can get a reentery permit and leave after 1 more month and come back anytime within that one year visa.. So just get a 1 year extension otherwise you have to start with a 90 day no O again

you cannot get a 30-days extension of the stay permit on top of a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa. In order to achieve a 120 days stay in Thailand, you would need to exit Thailand before the 90-days stay permit expires, stay outside Thailand for a few days or up to one week, then re-enter Thailand visa-exempt. You will get stamped in for 60 days on a visa exempt entry ( guaranteed if your travel history to Thailand is not overly extensive)

håper du har bank konto ellers får du ikke åpnet konto uten 1år extension og immigrasjonen må utsdede papir til ampho om att du skal få gul husbok og pink id og en landsby ansatt må gå god for der du bor.Æ Måtte gjennom dette for 10 dager siden.

There are only 2 extensions possible from a non-O visa.

A 1-year extension based on the same reason the visa was issued for.

A 60 day "visiting Thai family" extension if you have a Thai wife or half-Thai child.
