ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone - question on whether I can extend for one or two months in Thailand after my Retirement Visa expires?

My year ends Dec 3 and I would like just one month more - does anyone know if I can do that without leaving the country?

thanks so much

TLDR : Answer Summary

A Retirement Visa in Thailand cannot be extended for one or two months without leaving the country. The only options available are to apply for a 12-month extension if eligible or to leave Thailand to obtain a new entry stamp. Alternatively, a short-term family visa extension may be available for individuals with Thai relatives.

The only short-term extension that might be available is the 60 day Visit Thai Family if you have a Thai wife or child. If not then it's a 12 month extension or a border bounce assuming you qualify for a Visa Exempt 60 day entry stamp.

Nope you cannot. 😕

You can apply for a year extension if you meet the requirements but there is no short term; I wanna stay a bit longer, sort of extension you can get

You need to bounce out and back to get a NEW free 60 day entry stamp (which you can also extend for 30 days at the immigration office where you stay for 1900baht)
