ORIGINAL POSTER
I have a Non O retirement visa registered in Phuket. I am moving to a different Province. How do I go about transferring my visa to that new province. Immigration at the new one would not issue me a reentry permit and told me it could only be done through Phuket Immigration.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To transfer your Non O retirement visa from Phuket to another province, you should first have your new landlord file a TM30 form to notify immigration of your address change. You will also need to submit a TM27 notification to the local immigration office where you are moving. If you have a 90-day Non-O visa, you must attend your first extension in Phuket. It's suggested to visit the Phuket immigration office for guidance on reentry permits and ensure all necessary paperwork is in order for your new location.

TM30 followed by the next 90 day. You were unclear as to having an extension

You move, you get the new landlord to file a TM30, you go to the local office and file a TM27 notification of address change. If for instance you bought a 90-day non-o at the local immigration office in Phuket then you must do your first extension there.

Just get a reentry permit at the airport before you leave.

My English mother in law

84 moved from Chonburi

To HUA HIN I just went to immigration with her passport and house book

She has non O yearly visa

All done in ten minutes.

I think they got her to just do change of address form. Any all done in 10 minutes.

I was living in Nonthaburi and moved to khonkean, I didn't notify anyone, no problem, I'm on a retirement extension

Just carried on as normal, just did a tm 30 when I got there.

Go to the Phuket immigration office & apply/extend to a 1 year non o-a visa.

You can't apply for or extend/change to a 1 year Non Imm OA visa in Thailand

@Wayne *******
the OA is a 1yr VISA , not a 1yr extension.

You cannot get an OA VISA in Thailand.

Do you have the 90-day Non-O VISA, or are you on a 1-year extension of stay based on retirement? It makes a HUGE difference.

You said your non-O is "registered" in Phuket. What does that mean? If you are on the 90-day non-O visa, did you apply for that and receive it from Phuket, or did you get it from an embassy before you traveled to Thailand?

I thought you could only apply and receive a non-O visa outside of Thailand?

I got mine from inside Thailand in 2023 and extensions also from inside Thailand.

Okay, I didn’t know that.

things in Thailand do keep changing so be sure to check in your country before you come here to see if easier to sort out visa before the move here or after the move here.
