Has anyone applied for their non O based on retirement extension online ? Were you successful and was it reasonably straightforward?
Summary so far
The conversation discusses the challenges and experiences related to applying for a Non-O visa retirement extension online. Some users share their doubts about the online process, mentioning that it was initially a pilot project for tourist extensions rather than retirement extensions, which typically require physical visits to immigration offices. Others express frustration over appointment availability and the potential use of agents for the application process.

Gregory Peters . . . the online e-extension used to be a pilot project of the Immigration in Bangkok. It was supposed to enable an online application to a touristic 30-days extension. I have never heard of anyone successfully using it for a 1-year extension out of the Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa. This application still needs your physical visit on Immigration and the fulfillment of all requirements that come with it

Greg Alexander I understand that. I attempted to book an appointment for this year but September and October are fully booked already. Dreading the thought of spending all day at Chaeng Watthana I noticed they were now offering more services online, the retirement extension was one of them but having experience with Immigration web sites in the past, I was interested to see if anyone on here had actually done it successfully.

Gregory Peters you have the option to hire an agent to handle the 1-year extension for you. If you use your own funds, it would cost something between 12- and 15,000 THB

Ger Siebers Since a Thai "ambassade" (embassy) as absolutely NOTHING to do with a 1-year retirement extension, you are probably on the wrong train

Ger Siebers On this website, you apply for an E-Visa. You don't apply for the 1-year extension. It can be done up from THREE months before your planned travel
