Just stay in India because nobody can come to Thailand from there, for good reason.

He did it all himself, its not too onerous almost exactly the same information that I had to supply for renewing my own O "retirement" visa. I would suggest you go into your nearest ID office and ask one of their volunteer interpreters to walk you through it all?

No problem, glad you found it! I always check mine after they give it back because in December 2020 I went through the "Drive In" at Phuket and they forgot to change the year to 2021 and said I had to report back sometime in March 2020!!!

Look in your Passport, your report date is in there on a stapled piece of paper from the ID!

Not rocket science.

A Kiwi friend of mine did it last September with no fuss and did not have to leave Thailand.

Hi Tod, I just spoke with Morris and he confirmed what I thought, definitely from an OA to an O!

I asked him to respond himself so I hope that will assist somebody?

Am I going crazy or did you or did you not change from an OA to an O visa a few months back and I know you did not leave Phuket?

Perhaps you can help by adding to this post?
