hi guys,

i have a non o (converting to retirement visa +50) stamped in today in hua hin. admitted 7 januari and expire 5 april. the officer say to me to come in and apply for converting to extansion 1 year retirement visa 45 days or less before expire-date (5 april), that breaking date should be around 21st februari before i can apply.

my question is: is it also a latest date i have to go to apply, or can i wait in reality to the days just before the actual expire-date (5 april) if i prefer to do so?

when i applied for my non o, the rule was i needed to apply 2 weeks before my tourist visa expired. to make that progress working

.

thanks

Answer summary
The user, Benny, inquired about the latest possible date to apply for a retirement visa extension following the advice from immigration in Hua Hin. The responses clarified that he can apply anytime within the last 45 days before his current visa expiry without losing any stay days, and it is safer to apply earlier to avoid any potential issues that could arise close to the expiry date.

There is no down side to going early because the ADD the yearly extension to your current expiration date. You don't lose any days applying for the extension early.

You can apply during the last 45 days, your Extension is added on your current stay, so you will not lose any days by going early.

By going as late as possible, you must be aware that in case you missed to meet a requirement and need time to go and make the copies again and come back after the date stamped in your passport (your case 5th April) you are in overstay.
