What are the requirements and options for a non-O visa and METV application for a foreigner married to a Thai resident?

Graham ******

@Maxim **********

Granted, some Immigration Offices will not issue then for a tourism entry stamp but the ones in the tourist areas and many others probably do. I'm pretty sure everyone that has recently posted after getting one was not just Bangkok based. Which agent do you work for BTW?

What happens if I forget to do the 90-day report on a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand?

Graham ******

@Jan *****************

yes, 2000B whether 8 days late or 8 months late so if already day 8 or later forget about it until the next extension is due otherwise you could pay another 2000B for another missed report in the same period

Can I renew my retirement visa at a different immigration office in Thailand?

Graham ******

Normally your first Extension of Stay based on a Non-O issued in country has to be at the same Immigration office that issued the original Non-O. If you are travelling to Phuket, for example, you can ask them if it is possible to get your first extension there,
