I’m South African. I recently documented, on my Travel Blog, the process as it applies in the United Arab Emirates. You may find some useful tips there as the process should be similar around the world. Good Luck 🇹🇭🙏🏻

In Thailand that would be a 12 month extension of stay to a Non-O or a Non-OA retirement Visa
