What should I prepare for my return to Thailand with my son, given past travel experience and current visa options?

Robert *******

Apply for the Non Immigrant O visa based on having Thai child before you make your way into Thailand. No hassle with flights and visa exempt entry.

Get 90 days on entry and apply for the 60 days extension to visit family. Use the visa designed for this situation.

What are the steps to apply for a retirement extension in Thailand after returning from abroad?

Robert *******

I have no idea where in Thailand the OP is going to live, but I know for sure that he can go after 45 days, they will inform him to make all needed copies and let him apply or inform him he has to wait a few more days and make an appointment to get thins done on the easy way.

Get the Non Immigrant O visa before you travel, get stamped in for 90 days and after 45 days visit Immigration to apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay. Less visits to Immigration and less hassle.

Can I enter Thailand with a tourist visa and later apply for a retirement visa?

Robert *******

Single Entry Tourist Visa gives 60 days, once the extension is an extra 30 days, than conversion to Non Immigrant O gives an extra 90 days, yes easy to do if you can meet the requirements.

Can I use foreign travel insurance to obtain a Thai OA Visa while residing in Canada?

Robert *******

No insurance needed, no police checks, no funds transfers, just get 90 days on entry and before these 90 days ends, make a border run to get another 90 days.

Live can be easy if you look at all the options:

Can you obtain a re-entry permit with a Special Tourist Visa (STV) in Thailand?

Robert *******

I would say YES, as it is mentioned on the Extension of Stay stamp, ask your local Immigration Office and please let us know the outcome.

There is no rule that short time visa or short time Extension of Stay are exempt from a re-entry permit.

When does the one-year extension for a 90-day Non-O Retirement Visa in Thailand start and need to be renewed?

Robert *******

@Reny ***

You can but not based on being over 50 years of age, you may try based on volunteer work, being married to a Thai, depending on partner with long stay etc. The O stand for Others and not only as some people like to say retirement.
