@Brandon ***********

You go to your nearest Department of Land Transport. Before that though, you need a Non Immigrant visa, a residence certificate from immigration, medical certificate from your doctor, passport, driving licence plus copies.

How can I convert my volunteer visa to a retirement visa in Thailand?

John *********

I had a dodgy volunteer visa. I had to leave last May to get a 90 days from Malaysia (my immigration doesn't issue this). No problem with the extension at immigration and they are notorious here for being difficult.
