Can I travel to the UK after obtaining a Thai non-O visa and return to Thailand?

Stuart *********

Not an issue at all. You enter and leave UK on your UK passport. Enter Thailand on your Aus passport.

Is the visa extension in Thailand usually approved for an extra month?

Stuart *********

@Pierre ********

Not quite true. The number of days is dependent on office. Some like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, etc allow 45 days prior. Most allow 30. Some like Jomtien, Samui and Koh Phangan only allow 7 days prior.

Some offices require you to fill STM2 and STM9 as well. They’re not difficult to do and will be on hand at the office if needed.

When should I renew my retirement visa in Thailand, before or after July 15th?

Stuart *********

They will stamp a under consideration stamp for 15-30 days or so but it’s irrelevant when you apply from 45 days out up until the stamp date.

Stuart *********

That’s for the initial Non O visa. That needs those number of days to convert. You can extend an extension up to the actual due date but actually 5th for you.
