travelling to thai on a 30 day stamp and getting retirement visa when i get there ,should be ok?
Answer summary
Traveling to Thailand on a 30-day stamp and applying for a retirement visa (Non-O) upon arrival is possible if you meet the necessary requirements. However, it's important to note that you may need sufficient time on your stamp (usually 15-21 days) to complete the application for the Non-O visa. Some commenters also suggest considering obtaining the visa from your home country for a smoother process. Additionally, changes in visa duration may allow for 45 days starting from October.

Get the Non Imm O in your home country. Much easier.

From October you’ll get 45 days! 👍

Can do. Timing will be tight for getting your bank account and money transferred as you’ll usually require up to 21 days left on a valid stamp to apply (some offices allow 15 days). You can always get a regular 30 day extension before you apply for the non O.

If you meet the requirements then why wouldn't you be?

@Harvey ********
then you might want to buy a cheap ticket out of Thailand within the duration of your initial entry to Thailand. If entering visa exempt then something within 30 days.Activity
