Ok so here we go....
I have a non r religious visa that expires
nov 25th.
It was issued in korat... now i dont live there and haven't been living there for almost about 1 year. My new address is in chaing rai, i have been doing all of my 90 day reports here in chaing rai under my new address,
i would like to renew for another 1 year .
..immigration said that, in order for me to renew for another year, i need to cancel my non r from korat make it predated to the 25th of nov. and submit all supporting documentation from the New temple of residence by the 11th so chaing rai can issue a new non r according to the new address i live... is that right? Im confused to the max... i mean they know i live here i been doing all my check ups here in chaing rai, never in korat.... i dont want to have to leave thailand as thats a scary choice and might not be let back in!?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on renewing their Non-R religious visa, which was issued in Korat but they now reside in Chiang Rai. They have been doing their 90-day reports at their new address and have been informed by immigration that they need to cancel their current Non-R visa first, using documentation from the new temple, and then apply for a new Non-R visa at the Chiang Rai immigration office. Comments suggest this is a standard procedure when changing residence associated with the visa sponsorship.
