Hello. I am a Belgian national on a non-OA annual retirement visa which I would like to change to a non-O when the current one expires. I plan to exit the country before its expiry and return on a 30 days exemption visa before applying to 90 days non-O then extend to annual retirement. Is it possible to apply for a 90 days non-O while I am out of the country for few days only skipping the 30 day exemption visa? I plan to fly to Luang Prabang and back. It seems it is possible in theory (according to PKK immigration) but would like to know if anyone has actually done it. Thank you for sharing your experience, if any.
