Is it normal for Thai Immigration to visit unexpectedly for a Non O retirement visa holder?
I just had a phone call from Immigration saying they want to visit my residence today.
I have a 12 month Non O retirement visa .
Is this normal for them to rock up out of the blue?

Answer summary
Yes, it is becoming common for Thai Immigration to visit the residences of individuals holding a Non O retirement visa, sometimes without prior notice. Many expats have reported similar experiences where immigration officials have shown up unannounced. As long as you are compliant with the regulations and living at the address registered with immigration, there is generally nothing to be worried about.
