TLDR : Answer Summary

The home visit by immigration officers during the application process for a Non-O Visa in Thailand primarily aims to verify the authenticity of the applicant's marital status if applying based on marriage. The officer may ask neighbors questions to confirm residency and the legitimacy of the marriage. While this inspection is common for marriage-based visas, it is not typically required for retirement extensions, which vary by province. Applicants usually receive a short notice prior to the visit.

Your post is a bit confusing. The 90 days Non-immigrant O Visa have several options,like for example retirement or marriage.

Marty Pollard This post is about applying for a 90 days Non-immigrant O from abroad.There are no home visits when applying for annual extensions based on retirement,only for extensions based on marriage, and not even in every province.

That is the point of the question. Previously they didn’t do home visits for a retirement extension.
