Looking for some help for my elderly neighbor.( 80 yrs old ) He was in an OA visa and has extended it for the past few years successfully but this year he forgot and was late going to immigration . It looks like they gave him a 60 day covid visa because his OA extension expired !. ( although he didn’t realize that’s what had happened until today )
Can he go and buy a non o and then extend it for reason of retirement ? What would be the procedure. He would be using samuthprakarn immigration .
TLDR : Answer Summary
The elderly neighbor, who is presently on a 60-day COVID visa after an expired OA extension, cannot immediately apply for a Non-O visa while in Thailand. Instead, he should consult the immigration office regarding converting his COVID extension into a one-year retirement extension, which requires him to meet specific criteria, including obtaining health insurance.
