Hello. I have hopefully a pretty straightfoeward Issues. My 30 day visa expires MAY3 (16 days). I already had one 30 day extension. I am ready to apply for my O retirement. I have a one year lease signed, TM30 on file, 800,000 transferred to Kbank as of last week. How long will this process take? I don't think I'll get my passport back in time and am planning another Air flight to KL if needed. I'm in Bangkok. Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is inquiring about the processing time for a Non-O retirement visa application, as their current 30-day visa is set to expire soon. Comments suggest that if the application is submitted before the visa expires, it can be processed quickly, often on the spot, with an indication that a receipt will suffice to avoid overstaying. There is also a mention of needing to wait two months for the 800,000 THB to be seasoned for a yearly extension after applying for the Non-O.
