Quick question - is it possible to 'short term' extend a retirement visa for a couple of weeks like a tourist visa or is just a complete re-application?

Thanks.

Answer summary

It is not possible to short-term extend a retirement visa in Thailand like a tourist visa. Extensions for Non-Immigrant visas, including retirement visas, do not allow for a short-term extension. The only option for extending beyond the standard period without reapplication would be a 60-day extension for visiting Thai family, which is only applicable if you have legal and immediate family in Thailand.

Unfortunately, there is no "short-term" extension available for Non-Immigrant-based visas/extensions including retirement.

60-day visiting Thai family extension is the only possible extension for less than one year to a Non-Immigrant-based visa or extension. Unless you have a legal and immediate Thai family in Thailand, you cannot apply for it.
