Hi all
If you are on a 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa and have been in Thailand for 2 months with the 800,000 in the bank and you have just applied for the Non-Immigrant O-A (retirement Visa),
Can you leave Thailand whilst waiting?
Do you have to be back in Thailand to receive the Visa?
What happens if you are still out of the country when the visa comes through?
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the process of leaving Thailand while waiting for a Non-Immigrant O-A (retirement) Visa after applying from a 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa. Responses clarify that you typically cannot apply for a Non-O-A visa within Thailand and must apply from your home country. However, you can leave Thailand with a re-entry permit while your extension or application is processed, as long as you return by any stipulated date from immigration. If you fail to return by this date, you would have to restart the visa application process.
