Should I apply for a one-year extension of my Non-O visa before or after my trip to Vietnam?

I got mine Friday and better to extend for a year because no more border runs

@Petrov *******

in case you use the bank deposit as the financial proof for the application to the extension of the stay permit, you need to time the date of application rather according to the deposit seasoning requirement than according to your return from a trip from abroad. And better don't leave it to the last minute in case some documents are missing or asked for . . . . . BTW you still have not answered the question about on what reason the extension is supposed to get applied for . . as each reason requires different documentation

I've travel out of thailand during my initial 90days nonO with a single re entry permit.....does not matter as long as you are back and have enough time to do your 1yr extension

If you are applying for an extension that might require an under consideration period and house visit then that might overlap your travel plans so please tell us the reason for the extension

Both are possible.

Consider which date will be more important to you for extending your visa stay next year.

This was crucial for me because I was unable to provide the pension documents at the beginning of January.

Which province are you applying your extension and have you been to get the checklist from them?

Just leave yourself enough time to extend when you return a lot of time they send you off for more documents

It doesn't really matter. I like to renew mine well before expiry date in case of any issues. I don't like leaving it until the last minute

After

A non-O visa based on what? Extension based on what?
