Hi all, I had a 1 year non immigrant retirement visa but unfortunately I missed the criteria for extension and took out the money before 3 months. I later found out and put back the money to make the balance back to 800k. Anyone had experiences ? Am i able to get the 1 year extension? If not, what should I do? Do i need to go back to the country where I am from and wait and fly to Thailand as a tourist and restart the whole thing again? Any advices? Thanks!!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice after failing to meet the criteria for extending a non-immigrant retirement visa due to a premature withdrawal of funds from their bank account. Despite restoring the account balance to 800,000 THB, there are concerns about eligibility for an extension. Community responses suggest that due to the rule violation, the user will likely need to leave Thailand, possibly apply for a new non-O visa outside the country, or return as a tourist and then reapply. The consensus leans towards hiring an immigration agent to navigate this process more smoothly, as they can provide valuable assistance despite the added cost.
