Hi. Just arrived and had applied for non-o for purposes of retirement. I had understood from this group that I would be stamped in for 60 days. My stamp was 90 days. Should I be concerned? Or do anything differently? No extension needed?

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user recently arrived in Thailand and applied for a Non-O visa for retirement, expecting a 60-day stamp but received a 90-day one instead. Commenters clarified that the 90-day stamp is correct for initial entries after applying for a Non-O visa either inside Thailand or at the airport, and advised that no immediate action is needed. They explained that the next step would involve seeking a one-year extension based on retirement, which can be applied for within the last 30 days of the 90-day stamp. It's important to verify the latest requirements with the local immigration office, especially regarding financial requirements for the retirement extension.

Just to add, if you applied for the non-o in your home country you would be stamped in for 90 days on arrival. Your next step will depend on the type of non-o so as

says go talk to your local immigration office to find out their requirements. I'd do that ASAP as the retirement extension requires money in a Thai bank for 2 calendar months before you apply (unless you come from a country whose embassy issues income affidavits)

You might have understood something mixed.

It is a 90-day stamp you would be given for the first time when you applied for a Non-immigrant visa inside Thailand at the local immigration office. So you got your visa application completed right.

Your next step will be a 1-year extension based on retirement around the end of that 90 days (when the current stamp remains 30 days or less). Get the latest requirements for them from the local immigration office to be ready.
