How can I stay in Thailand until late June if my retirement visa expires in mid-April?
My retirement visa will end at mid April, but my rental will end at late June. I don’t plan to continue renew the retirement visa and not willing to leave Thailand until late June. Any way can stay until late June without leaving the country?

You either extend again or, willing or not, leave the country or risk facing the consequences

Since you have a HK passport, why not take the cheap flight to HKG (typically about 2000 baht each way) and back to reenter with either a tourist visa or visa exempt entry?

Of course you can stay, you just pay the fines when you leave. You just have to be careful not to go to jail.

Grandpappa Tuomisto I can't believe you would seriously advise someone to go on a 2.5 month overstay.

Leave the country just before your retirement visa expires and apply for a 60 day tourist visa (while still outside of the country). Enter on the tourist visa, and if needed you can get a 30 extension at immigration

Your rental has no bearing on your permission to stay. What you are or are not willing to do also has no bearing on your permission to stay.
You either get an extension, or you leave Thailand. If you fail to do that, you will go on overstay, and if you are caught by police for any reason while on overstay, you will be banned for 5 years.
Without knowing what passport you hold, it's impossible to tell you what options you might have.

OPI hold Hong Kong passport, what options I have?
Angelo ***********
Cheng Nic For less than 90 days a ban - not even a month - is extremely unlikely. Banning might happen for overstays longer than 90 days.
Anyway, why not just make a trip outside country and come back after a week - you have to stay outside a few days - and get a 30 or 60 days visa exemt entry stamp?

ONE day will get you a 5 year ban, if you are caught by police for any reason while on overstay. It's NEVER a good idea to go on overstay.90 days is only when turning yourself in at the airport on the way out.

@Angelo **********
that all depends. Even a one day overstay can lead to a ban if the local authorities have reason to check your passportBrandon ************
@Cheng ****
you do a border bounce. Leave and return same day. Can even use a company that specializes in border bounces to make it easier. You'll get a 60 day visa exempt stamp since you have a HK passport.Activity
