ORIGINAL POSTER

This is the requirement list for non imm O and OA extensions on Koh Samui, and now, also Phangan.

The requirement for a house number photo (Item 12.) is new to me, but no problem.

Item 13. I dont recollect seeing before and dont recognise the numeric 654/2564

Anyone know?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post outlines the requirement list for Non-Immigrant O and OA extensions at the immigration offices in Koh Samui and Ko Pha Ngan. A new requirement is a house number photo, and there is confusion regarding the numeric reference 654/2564, which pertains to recent changes in health insurance requirements for retirees. Community comments clarify that this numeric cites police orders regarding insurance for extension applications and mention other specific requirements like the TM30 form.

is the number of the police order which was effective on October 2022. That is about changing insurance requirements for those who are applying for an extension based on retirement continuing from Non-OA entry. The changed requirement is bottom of the sheet.

@Frank *********

there are a couple 'renegade' immigration offices (the southern Island ones that require a medical certificate to get a year extension on an O, or OA visa based on retirement.

Thank You for sharing this with us.

Members note that this is for this Koh Samui and Phangan Thai Immigration offices...

The numeric cited is the OA visa based health insurance policy requirements listed in the bottom lines.

CONTACT YOURS for their requirements for the Non O Visa as retiree and the One year extension of stay as retired.
