How does a passport expiration affect the extension of a non-immigrant O retirement visa in Thailand?
Hello Community,
I have a question in behalf of a friend:
He is in TH on base of a non-immi-O retirement visa and needs to have it extendet in March for another year.
Unfortunately his Passport runs out if validity February 2024
Will the extension be made till the Passport’s validity or again for a whole year ? ( Visa needs to be stamped into the new passport anyways.

Let's try that again. 🙂
IF you are applying for a year extension BUT your passport expires before that year is up you only get stamped in until the passport expires.
So if he doesn't get a new passport BEFORE he applies for a new extension he'll get stamped in only until Feb 2024 not March so he'll lose a month.
Certainly NOT the end of the world but something that can be avoided IF they apply for a new passport now before they need to apply for their up coming extension.
