Has anyone come in on a tourist visa and successfully changed it to an o retirement visa with an extension from within Thailand?

I have an O retirement Visa for 90 days. Is it possible to get 30 days extension so i get 120 days or do i have to make a short Visarun? ( For the next year i put 800.000 Bath in a bank account so i can get it for one year👍). Thanks in advance and have an amazing day 😊👍

First time 90 day report for my O retirement visa, which I have to do in person.

I will be doing this at Hua Hin main immigration office. Some sites say I can do up to 14 days before due date. Can anyone confirm this as 'friends' have said it's 7 day's. Thanks 🙏

Hi All, targeted at Samui residents please.

Can anyone confirm this checklist from Samui immigration (usually in front of counter 4) is the latest for the extension of stay for O/O-A Retirement visa please ? (I am not on the island at the moment)

Thanks in advance 🙏

Heads up to those who are with Bangkok Bank. Starting today they require you to block 400k/800k (depending on your visa type) 4 months prior to renewal even if immigration is asking 3 months. If not they will disclose documents for visa renewal only by making you sign a paper where you pledge to keep the amount for 4 more months.

Hello all...i had to broke my OA visa due to change in Health insurance..ok now i am under consideration for an O retirement visa BUT the date due to be there its the same date when my tourist visa end ! can I go before this date (the one writting on the blue receipt ) ?

In May 2025, I intentionally let my O retirement visa lapse. I was and am overseas so there was no overstay. I intend to go to Thailand for one week.

Should I expect any issues at the airport? Can I request a 7 day stamp? I don't want the IO to think that I am attempting to stay without the " proper" visa.

I'm on my 3rd extension of an O retirement visa, and am planning on going back to the States for two months. My passport is down to 3 empty pages, the re-entery permit will take up one half of one of those pages. If I get a new passport when home, will I be able to enter whit my old punche through passport? Suggestions for what I should do are appreciated.

If I’m on an O retirement visa and I renew my passport while abroad- what happens when I re-enter Thailand? Is my info “in the system already” ? Would I need to show the old passport with as well? Thanks.

Did I need to get a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand December 2024? I had to leave unexpectedly and return to the US for a family emergency.

In August 2024, I went through an agent to get an "O" retirement visa and the one year extension with multiple entry permit good until November 2025.

I am getting ready to return to Thailand and don't want to be held up at the airport.
