Hi, is it required to re-new a non-O (retirement) Visa before the Visa itself expires? Example: visa expires 15 March. I re-enter 13 th March getting another 90 days, start the re-newal process im April or May. Thank you ๐
TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew a Non-O (retirement) visa, you must start the renewal process before the current visa expires. It is recommended to begin the renewal or extension at least 30 days before the expiration date, although some immigration offices allow you to do so 45 days in advance. If the visa expires on March 15 and you re-enter Thailand on March 13, you must apply for the extension before the deadline to avoid overstaying. If your visa expires, you cannot extend it and would need to reapply for a new Non-O visa instead.
