Going for my first one year visa extention on a non o

What sort of ball park cost am I looking at please

Hi, I have a Multi Entry Non Immigrant O/A Visa, based on retirement purposes.

I went to my local immigration office today to find out what are the requirements to extend my visa for 1 more year prior to lodging my visa extension.

I was told that, "because I have a Multi Entry visa" If I left the country and returned again before my visa expires that I would be stamped in for 1 more year. (I also showed them my health insurance is paid for another year)Then I was told to return to them to let them know my current address, and then I would have to visit then in November next year for another 1 year extension.

Can anyone confirm that is true and correct?

Thanks in advance.

I am on a non O visa which I just renewed. I don’t have a multi entry stamp and we are trying to plan a trip to Lao. Can I get a re-entry stamp driving across at Nong Khai or do I need to get it in Khon Kaen immigration where I do my visa stuff? Can I get it based on a date we are planning or do I have to go the day we are leaving?

Richard Jenkins made this post earlier but he had his passport number visible in one of his images so I edited the image, deleted the post and messaged him to repost it.

He can't receive messages from people so he didn't see my message

Here's his thread

In July 2023 obtained a 12 month Non OA Visa based on retirement from the UK. This was multiple entry by default. To get a new year entry stamp (following advice from this group - thanks!) I renewed my health insurance and back in Junr I re-entered Thailand, presented the new insurance and the old visa and was duly given a new 1 year Non-OA Visa (14June 2024 to 13 June 2025).

Back in late September 2024 I left Thailand for the UK and then returned on the 21 October. When I got to immigration at BKK they told me that the Non-OA Visa wasn't valid because I didn't have a reentry permit. This was a bit of a shock to me because my previous Non-OA Visa was multiple entry and there weren't any extra stamps in the passport to show that.

I debated with first the immigration officer and then her superior but to no avail. They both informed me that the Visa was not valid because I did not have a reentry permit. I assume this was correct although I have to say I was pretty pissed off. So now I have a 60-day visa-free stamp in my passport issued at BKK. It expires on the 19th of December. I live in Pattaya.

Is it possible for me to obtain a 90 day Non-O visa based on retirement or even better a 12 month Non-O visa based on retirement without leaving Thailand. I meet the financial requirements, have a current TM30 and previous TM30s and also have a 12 month contract for the condo I rent. Have valid passport and can get photos.

Do I need any more documentation?

I would normally go to the local immigration in Pattaya but would happily travel to Bangkok if that made any difference.

Thanks for your advice.

I was just informed by the US Embassy staff that I can transfer my old extension of stay (Non-O Marriage) stamp to my new passport at Suvarnabhumi before my flight. Just want to verify this is correct and how long it takes to do this so I do not miss my flight. Also, has anyone renewed a US passport recently and can share the processing time it took to receive the new one? Thank you!

I have retirement visa and will me going back to my country and we'll there renewing my passport, when I return to thailand or before I leave is there something I need to do for this as when returning my visa stamp and re-entry permit will be in my expired passport and the new passport will be empty?

------------------------

I am the one who posted about ED visa and re-entry permit and this is the update post. I arrived in Thailand this morning and gave my DTV printed page and passport to the officer. She looks confused about which stamp she had to make. Then I showed my cancellation letter (not original but copy) then she smiled and Stamped DTV 180 days. I'm very happy that everything goes smoothly except the airline check-in counter. That Airline check-in counter really messes up that saying my passport has no visa stamp I mean wdh xD Then I just told them I'm going for a free visa because I am an Asian.

If you are on a non O 1 year extension and have a re entry permit and am out of Thailand when the extension runs out what is the procedure when returning to Thailand. Is the expired extension reactivated ?

Hi, l got my multiple entry retirement visa sorted last week but unsure on 2 things with it.

1. l intend to go back to the UK before my first 90 days is up and it says l must contact immigration for a re entry visa before leaving Thailand and

2. notification of residence must be made every 90 days.

My questions are:

1. How long before l leave for the UK do l need to apply for a re entry visa and what does it cost or involve?

2. If l leave Thailand before the 90 day notification of residence do l still have to give notification of residence?

TIA

Updated: I applied for DTV with the ED visa and re-entry permit. Approved!
