What is solution for my friend who’s already arrived in Thailand and wants to validate her Non-0 90 Day Retirement visa? Non-0 approval wasn’t received by her departure date, so she flew from USA to BKK anyway, and got 60 day Visa Exemption stamp.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Your friend can validate her Non-O 90 Day Retirement visa by leaving Thailand and doing a border bounce. She should exit the country and re-enter while presenting the approved visa.

  • Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

The only option is to do a border bounce. Leave Thailand and return, and present the visa upon returning.

 If you want to do it by air, usually best to go somewhere that won't require you to pay for a visa on arrival. Often places like Singapore or Malaysia qualify for many people for this.
