Greetings. I am packaging up a type O via the Thai E Visa online site. I have 2 options and would like an opinion on what is best / least hassle for applying for 1 year extension after I arrive in Thailand. The first option is over 50 retirement and the second is the visiting Thai family member (child) i qualify for both but not sure if one or the other is better when it comes time to request an extension. Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is considering options for a 1-year extension after arriving in Thailand under a NON-O visa and is unsure whether to choose the retirement option for those over 50 or the option related to being a parent of a Thai child. Comments highlight that there are different requirements for each extension type, including financial stipulations and legal considerations regarding parental rights. Specifically, the retirement extension requires maintaining 800,000 THB in a bank account for 2 months, while the family extension requires only 400,000 THB.
