I have a particular question about what happens in the weeks after applying for non-O based on retirement.
Context: I will self-apply for a 90day non-O based on retirement in Jomtien, and ~2 months later for a 1year extension. I will be using the 800k in bank method.
I will apply in early August, and then plan taking a 30+ days trip through Thailand. My understanding is; that I will be getting an āunder considerationā stamp in my passport on the day of the application.
My questions are:
- Will I get my passport back on the day of the application, or will it stay with immigration during the āunder considerationā period?
- How long is the āunder considerationā period?
- Do I need to be back at Jomtien immigration on a specific date (eg. 14 days later), or can I immediately start my trip and return to Jomtien immigration at a later time, say 45days after the initial application for the 90day non-O. I will be staying in Thailand for the entire period.
- Will there be any 90day reporting requirements?
Thanks for helping!
