Hi all... asking for a friend: Their Non Imm retirement visa with multiple re-entry is expiring in a little less than 90 days. Is it too late to deposit 800K himself? (agent provided previously). If too late to do himself, can any one recommend an agent charging "reasonable" price to handle renewal and 800K in BKK? Pattaya or Chiang Mai are possible if necessary or if significantly less expensive.? Thanks for any helpful info!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The renewal of a Non-Immigrant retirement visa requires adherence to specific financial conditions, including the ฿800k deposit needing to be seasoned for 2 months prior to application. If a previous agent handled the last extension using their finances, the individual may face challenges in renewing it themselves this year. It's recommended to use an agent again for the renewal process, especially in cities like Bangkok or Pattaya, where various services are available at reasonable prices. If there is time, leaving Thailand and re-entering as a visa-exempt traveler could be an alternative to start the process over with the ฿800k deposit.
