Is it common for immigration officers to visit after applying for a NON O retirement visa in Thailand?

I've had visits from immigration in Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, and Krabi. Initial application, then annual extensions on a non-o. So have many of my pals, most of whome are over 60.

Actually applying for the initial 90 day Non-O visa based on being over 50 at Chaengwattana in Section C-1 has had most people get a visit from an immigration officer during the two week "under review" period from when you applied/paid and when you go back to get the Non-O visa and new 90 day stamp inked in.

It is not unusual at all and many people have posted they get a visit on their Non-O application so no reason to think they are suspicious or it is out of the ordinary 🙂

They'll call you before they show up, and it's usually just a few minute visit
