TLDR : Answer Summary
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.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • 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.
  • Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.

Thanks for the info.

Open a bank account, put in 800,000 transferred from overseas. Go to the immigration office and ask them for their list of requirements for a non-O based on being over 50. Gather the requirements and apply. If you can't get everything together in about a week you'll likely need to apply for a 30 day extension because you need 14-21 days remaining on your entry stamp to apply for a non-O visa.
