I don't think Immigration will accept your application to the 1-year Extension, unless you have already accumulated 12 months of transfers, coded in your Thai bankbook as having come from abroad, and you are able to show Immigration the 12-months statement of your Thai bank. . . . Starting with those transfers right now will get you nowwhere. All you could do is exit Thailand before the 90-days stay permit expires, and wait until one year has passed

@Wayne *******

contrary to your belief, this is what we were haggling about - wording that can easily be misinterpreted by newbies ! She only said "residing" in the first place. She later added "staying" to the text

@Jim ******

okie dokie, I think you made the right decisions

@Jim ******

dream on . . . . you haven't been living long enough in Thailand, yet. Soon you will know the pitfalls of "paradise" 😉

@Jim ******

then use correct wording

@Jim ******

😎 a one-year extension is NOT a one -year Non-O visa . . . your wording is wrong

@Lynnette ******

I often experience people changing the text and then claiming they never posted anything like. It is my hobby to catch people lying, that's why I always do a screenshot before I comment. I am the admin of a very well known and reputed visa advice group and this is just my way to do it (Frank Sinatra) . Michael Moore and ME have already caught the POS in the White House having uttered over 90,000 lies

@Lynnette ******

I am very happy you took the time to correct the text

@Jim ******

"I might even use that agency to do the leg work upon the renewal of my 1 year extension stay in Thai. It would not be THAT expensive." . . . . . . . yes, the agent fee for an application for the next 1-year Extension of the Stay Permit should be around 12-14,000 THB, when using your own funds. You could however, easily do it by yourself and save 10-12,000 THB

@Jim ******

Whaaaat did you say? Sorry!

“I enterend Thai on it 29. October 2025. on Non-O visa 1 year from an agency that charged me 34,000 THB”

It is IMPOSSIBLE that you entered Thailand on a “1-year Non-Imm-O Visa”

Embassies worldwide have discontinued issuing 1-year Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa by October 2023, and by January 2024, the Savannakhet Consulate was the last one to stop issuing it.

Since then, every Non-Imm-O Visa is only good for 90 days.

It is IMPOSSIBLE any agent got a “1-year Non-O Visa” for you

some of what you wrote doesn’t make much sense, and you seemingly haven’t understood the difference between a visa and a stay permit

keep learning 🙂
