@Robert ********
it depends on which immigration office you will be attending. Apparently, some will do it in one day. Mine takes 7 weeks.

My advice would be to go to your local Immi to get a list of their requirements.

Good luck ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

No need to use an agent.

Just go to your local Immigration office once you get here (with your No O obtained from overseas) and ask them what their requirements are for an extension. The requirements vary from office to office.

Good luck ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Your embassy/consulate should be able to advise you.

I can attest to your comments about Samui Immi.

Although, my post is not about a DTV extension, a Non O Retirement extension (at least the first one) is now a 7 week process here, involving 3 trips to Immiโ€ฆ

@Steve ****
No, that is not true. For an extension of the 3 month non O to a 12 month Retirement Visa, the 800,000B needs to be seasoned in a Thai ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ Bank account for two months prior to extension. That is the requirement of Thai Immigration.

There have been reports of a Rouge Bank Manager somewhere, asking for funds to be seasoned for 4 months but this has not been confirmed and would also go against The Dept of Immigration rules.

Your best bet is to contact your local Immigration Office to find out what their requirements are.

Two months before you apply for your extension and 3 months after.

This is for Non O.

itโ€™s easy enough to combine multiple documents ๐Ÿ“ƒ into one pdf, no?

There is no hard and fast rule. It depends on the IO.
