Hello, any advice welcome please.
Currently hold OA visa - originally obtained in Australia and extended multiple times at CW.
Meet all requirements for OA extension eg money & health insurance.
Have multiple re-entry permit.
Visa is due for renewal July 21.
I am leaving Thailand for Europe on June 03 and not returning until approximately October.
My preference is to renew this visa prior to departure- but this may not be possible.
1. How far in advance can I renew this visa?
2. What are my options if I can’t renew in advance?
3. Is it possible to return on a tourist visa and switch to a O.
Many thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster holds an OA visa and is seeking advice on renewing it before departing Thailand for Europe. They meet the renewal requirements and have multiple re-entry permits but are unsure about the timing and options for renewal given their travel plans. Key questions include how far in advance they can renew, what to do if they can't renew in advance, and the possibility of returning on a tourist visa and switching to a Non-O visa.
