Hi, I'm going to apply for the Non-Immigrant O Visa tomorrow. How much money do they charge for filing the application or do I pay when I pick it up?
Answer summary
The fee for the initial Non-Immigrant O Visa application is 2,000 THB, which grants a 90-day stay. To extend your stay beyond the initial 60 days, you can apply for an Extension of Stay for a fee of 1,900 THB, using the same documentation. It's important to note that the term 'retirement visa' is misleading as it refers to an Extension of Stay for applicants over 50 years of age.

The fee for the initial Non Immigrant O visa is 2.000 Thb and you will get 90 days of stay. After 60 days you can apply for the Extension of Stay for a fee of 1.900 Thb, for this application you need the same papers. As I understand people use the phrase retirement visa but that does not exist in Thailand, it is an Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age. Some people also call the Non Immigrant Visa retirement visa to make it even more confusing.

Robert , I find this visa process so daunting . This visa you talk of above would be ideal for me , could you point me in the right direction for more information etc . I’m in the UK , over 50 and would like to just spend some quality time in Thailand without worrying about renewing to often . Your advise would be appreciated . Thank you
