The IO is talking about the validity of your visa, the agent is talking about your permission to stay stamp.

Rudite Al You can think of retirement in Thailand as a 2-step process. First you get a 90 day non O visa based on retirement/over 50 (in your home country), and then when you are in Thailand you can apply annually for a 12 month extension of stay based on retirement/over 50 provided you meet the requirements. It's best to get these requirements from your local (in Thailand) immigration office.

The day you land is day 1, so you have another 89 days.

Update: you should be able to do this at any khet or amphur office.

And once you have MFA certification you and your wife go to your amphur with all the documents (and maybe a witness or 2) to get your overseas marriage registered in Thailand. They will give you a Kor Ror 22 (perhaps a few).

Check with your immigration office. If you're applying for an extension of stay based on retirement you may need to show that the 800K THB is an overseas transfer.

The Kor Ror 22 is a document confirming that an overseas marriage is registered in Thailand.

If you plan to drive in Thailand bring your driver's licence/s and an IDP from your home country. These will help you get a Thai licence.

Thank you for the reminder.

Remember to show the IO your evisa together with your passport (and possibly the TDAC), and check the stamp in your passport before leaving the airport.
