ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Adele Wong inquired about changing her OA retirement visa to an O retirement visa in Thailand. She asked if she needed to leave the country and re-enter after her visa expires to apply for the O retirement visa while being in the visa-exempt period. A commenter noted that while Bangkok and one other office generally require proof of fund origins, they might waive this requirement if transitioning directly from an OA to an O visa. The process outlined involves leaving the country at the expiration of the current visa, entering visa-exempt, gathering required documents, applying for the 90-day Non-O visa, and then later applying for a one-year extension. Another commenter requested the requirements for the Non-O visa.
