Hello everyone

My question to the group is.

I’m currently in the USA and have a retirement visa NON OA. It is stamp good until January of 2021. Can I renew here in USA or should I just get a new one issued
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about the process of renewing their NON-O retirement visa while in the USA, which expires in January 2021. The community responses clarify that the visa cannot be renewed from outside Thailand and advise applying for a new NON-O visa instead. Several comments discuss the requirements for extending a visa while in Thailand, like needing proof of funds and insurance. Additionally, some suggest waiting to apply for a new visa until after vaccinations start for COVID-19.

This is not a visa but an entrance stamp. As you left Thailand already, it is not valid anymore. On your visa is the last day that you can enter Thailand. If that has already passed you need to apply for a new visa

Since your current O-A Visa that you have is still good until sometime in Jan 2021.

If you could get into Thailand 45 days or more before it Expires - then you could go to Thai Immigration and apply for a one year Extension of Stay. You technically need proof of 800,000 Baht in a Thai Bank two months prior to applying... But considering Covid Lockdown problems they might be forgiving of the two months Seasoning. You would have to have the Health Insurance and the Specific Covid-19 Insurance. Both a bit expensive. Plus 10 to 14 days in a quarantine hotel (expensive)

Another way to do it... But probably better to wait until Feb / Mar - get a new O-A - with luck some of the barriers may be lessened

To get an O-A Visa - a person has to apply in the Home Country at a Thai Consulate / Embassy

In the first year of the O-A Visa - the Visa is Multi-Entry with unlimited exits and entries back into Thailand. No reentry stamps are needed. If you really have an O-A Visa and are in the first year

You need a re-entry permit or a valid visa. That stamp is worthless

The United States of America is known world wide as "America". If you don't like that - then too bad.

Example - Ask a Thai person if they know about the United States. 9 out of 10 times you will get a strange look. Ask a Thai about America (Ah-Mar-E-Kha. They will know exactly what you're talking about.

Try not to be a dickhead

You can only get a one year extension within Thailand. If you are outside Thailand when it expires, you will have to apply for a new OA Visa.

You can enter on that visa until 11 Jan 21 then it expires.

You’d have to apply for a new visa.
