ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When converting a visa exempt entry to a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand, it is confirmed that the new visa issued is a full 90-day visa. However, applicants must ensure they have at least 15 days remaining on their current visa stamp. The application process may take time, as it may need approval from Bangkok, and applicants are usually required to return on the day their current visa expires for the new visa to be stamped in their passport.
