I applied for and received a 90-day non-immigrant O retirement visa from the NY consulate. The visa is valid until May 18, 2024.
I plan to travel to Thailand in April but only for 5 weeks until May 6, 2024. Will that be sufficient time to apply for a one year extension?
What will I need to accomplish this? I do not yet have a Thai bank account.
Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual, who holds a 90-day non-immigrant O retirement visa, seeks to understand if a 5-week visit to Thailand is sufficient to apply for a one-year extension. Responses indicate that while 5 weeks is not enough for applying, the individual can return on a re-entry permit before the initial 90 days end. They will need to establish a Thai bank account, maintain funds for two months, and have documentation of their residence to successfully apply for the extension.
