@Jason *****

a "1-year retirement extension" needs 800,000 THB in the account , not 400,000. The application for a 90-days Non-O doesn't require a health insurance. And it doesn't require a STD check. You have TOTALLY f...d up your advice, given totally wrong figures and statements. You should REFRAIN from handing out advice in this group

@Kim ********

but the 1-year Extensions out of these visas "retirement" or "married" are not Non-O's any more. They are simple stay permits

@Robert *******

he has an Iranian passport and cannot do a border bounce because he won't be allowed in on a visa-exempt entry

@Graeme *****

he could not have entered visa-exempt because he obviously is an Iranian citizen. He must have entered on a SETV and extended the 60-days stay permit with 30 days, yet

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

he seems to have an Iranian passport. He cannot get a visa-exempt. He needs to apply for a SETV

Armin Ka . . you must DEFINITELY have entered on a 60-days Tourist Visa issued in your home country - (you NEVER ever entered on a 90-days Non-O visa because this one cannot get extended for 30 more days) - because an Iranian citizen cannot get a 60-days stay permit on a visa exempt entry - you are NOT listed under the 93 countries elegible for a visa-exempt entry. So what you need to do, you can exit and apply for another 60-days single entry tourist visa through the online E-Visa system in a neighbouring country. However you CANNOT re-enter visa-exempt - which some of the people commenting here have totally LOST

@Pat ********

doesn't matter where in Vietnam, as you will have to apply online through the e-visa system of the Hanoi embassy or the HCMC consulate. Best to stay in Hanoi and await the issuance of the visa. You can be asked to the embassy for a personal interview. Waiting is about 1-2 weeks

@Keith ******

I dislike being called out wrong when actually I am right

@Keith ******

it would be well said if he was right. But he is wrong. The threadstarter talks about a ""I have a retirement multiple entry visa" . . . . a Non-O/A visa is not a "retirement visa" (this is the Non-O visa!) . . . The Non-O/A visa is officially called a "Longstay Visa" by Thai embassies and Immigration

@Bob *********

a Non-Imm-O/A visa officially is a LONGSTAY VISA, not a "retirement visa". I suggest YOU do some research!
