Hi all. Is a 30 day extension available on just about any visa type (or exempt visa stay)? I got a 90 day non-immigrant O before leaving Australia, with the intention of going through the whole retirement shebang, but am having 2nd thoughts about it. Can I extend my 90 days by 30? I'm in Chiang Mai, and arrived here early May - visa is due to expire 30 July.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the possibility of extending a 90-day Non-Immigrant O visa in Thailand, which is primarily used for retirement purposes. It explains that a 30-day extension is not available for this visa type; rather, one can apply for a one-year extension or possibly do a border bounce for a new 30-day entry. The conversation also touches on the user's indecision about settling in Thailand versus exploring other Southeast Asian countries.
