What steps should I take to extend my stay in Thailand on a 30-day visa as a Canadian expat over 50?

A Canadian expat in Hua Hin seeking to extend their 30-day visa until April should follow these steps: open a bank account and deposit 800,000 THB transferred from overseas, then visit the immigration office to request the list of requirements for applying for a NON-O visa, which is available for individuals over 50. If unable to gather all necessary documents within a week, it may be required to apply for a 30-day extension to ensure adequate time remains on the entry stamp.
