I'm going for my over 50 visa in April when I hit the big age and am using Thai visa (Grace) for this.

In mean time, I need to extend my visa exempt by 30 days to March after which I'm going out of country for a little bit.

What do I need at the Surin immigration office? I thought I had it worked out but then read a few other posts and got confused again.

I am about to stay at a friend's so I will need them to do a tm30?

Then I just take passport down and ask to renew and pay fee?

Talking about the non o visa for over 50. Can I use this multiple times ?( once a year) Meaning not necessarily to prepare

for the 1 year extension but just for an extended stay ? As I said before I am leaving Thailand ( travelling to Europe) in 3 weeks after a 59 day stay, planning to return after 25 days

On this group there is a consensus I shouldn't have a problem but as you know a recent post of troubles at Bangkok airport is creating me some doubts. I could try a single entry visa, but is this Non O more credible and adapted to my case since I am over 50 ?

I'm currently on a Non O based on marriage to a Thai that expires 21st September and want to change to based on over 50 because it requires much less paperwork.

I need to leave Thailand for a week at the beginning of September.

Would it be easier to not get a re-entry and just return on t 60 day, then apply for the over 50 visa or get the re-entry? Funds will be seasoned.

Thanks.

For over 50 Visa, do we need in Pattaya to go and register ourselves again after a holiday abroad? TM47 I believe it was?

Thanks mates

Hi.

UK expat arrived Jan 21st on visa exempt.

Planning on applying for over 50 visa.

I have the funds in my Thai bank account ( well seasoned 6 months plus) and a long term condo lease.

What is the process?

Apologies if this gets asked a million times, every case seems to be slightly different.

Non-im type O over 50 Aug 2nd deadline coming up. Have done 12 mo. extension three times before so have papers eg., tm30, passport pages, bank letter and statements showing two months seasoning of 800k.

Would like to take flight home 24 June for 5-6 weeks but I might have to wait an extra week before I can go to immigration.

Jomtien office will allow max. 30 days before deadline to process extension. Any chance I can convince them to approve the extension tomorrow, I think about 37 days before the deadline? Curious if anyone has found Jomtien to be flexible on this.

Also I don't remember how much time the "under consideration" takes. If extension approved, will I get my passport back the same day or does it take multiple days or a week?

Urgent .I think I just messed up at immigration. I extended my over 50 Visa today at Jomtien immigration and they took my passport for pick up on July 8th. But I'm flying to Krabi tomorrow.

I was thinking my hotel would take a copy of the passport for check-in but forgot about getting on the plane at BKK Airport. Is it possible to get on a domestic flight to Krabi from BKK without actual passport and just a copy and with u.s. Florida driver's license ?

Hi All,

Does anyone have an example of a completed set of the 4 extra forms you get when applying for a yearly over 50 extension? I confess to being somewhat confused. TIA
