Visas to thailand are issued based on country of passport origin.

Gambian passport holders need to buy a visa to get in to thailand.

you apply for the visa via the online eVisa web-portal here

You shouldn't have an issue getting a 30 day extension on your visa exempt entry stamps

You definitely need TM30 showing you're registered at an address in Bangkok, your passport, a passport sized photo. The forms are at the immigration office that you need to fill out and there are copy/photo shops next to the location

For extensions on 60 day visa exempt entry stamps you DO NOT go to the main immigration office at the government complex on Chaengwattana Road.

You go to the IT Square Laksi Plaza immigration office on the 3rd floor.. You can make an appt to show up and be served at this website



you want this choice;

At midnight the 19th of Jan opened up at Chaengwattana for retirement extension

You can use proof of funds in your country to show you meet the financial requirements to get the 90 day Non-O visa based on retirement.

As far as will that be accepted, it's going to come down to who's approving your documentation.

All you can do is apply, they'll email you if it won't work

Get here, get 800k into a Thai bank account in your name only, let it season 2 months, then apply for the yearly extension

There is no requirement that the funds for a year extension originate from abroad.

@Steve ******

there you go then 🙂 you're set (y)

as long as it's valid (which it will be until your current extension expires) you can exit/re-enter the country all you want during that time and you'll get stamped back in for the expiration date you have now on your current extension of stay stamp

This is a re-entry permit stamp

this is a yearly extension of stay stamp based on retirement

@Steve ******

there is no such thing as a multi-entry 12 month extension

extensions INSIDE thailand are sold without any re-entry permit <- because you're already IN thailand when you get it

re-entry permits are sold separate,

You might have gotten a 12 month extension and THEN a multiple re-entry permit but they are two completely different stamps

No problem at all, buy a re-entry permit (either a single re-entry for 1000baht or a multiple re-entry for 3800 baht) at the immigration office where you got your extension issued OR at the airport before you fly out

you can then exit the country and when you come back you'll get stamped in until your current extension expires.
