How soon can I apply for a Non-O retirement visa while on a tourist visa in Thailand?
Stuart *********
Depends on the office you use. Most allow 30 days prior. Some like Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket allow 45 days.

Will my third entry into Thailand in 2025 cause issues due to previous visa exemptions and a long gap?
Stuart *********
Certainly sounds like no issue for entrance in to Thailand as it’s a typical type of tourist entry.

No guarantee as it’s up to the individual immigration officer but doesn’t seem to raise any red flags.

Have the three proofs of cash, accommodation and ticket out but probably won’t be asked for any.

When does the 90-day reporting period start for a Retirement Visa in Thailand after an extension?
Stuart *********
Extensions (other than your first) are irrelevant for 90 day reporting. The “clock” starts when you enter Thailand and you report if you’re staying over 90 days.

What documents are needed to apply for a DTV visa in Thailand, and can you recommend a good agent in Chiang Mai?
Stuart *********
An agent isn’t going to really help you. You need to apply at an embassy or consulate abroad.

Can I apply for a one-year extension of my Non-O Visa after only two weeks in Thailand?
Stuart *********
Most offices will allow you to apply when you have 30 days left on your current stamp. Some like Bangkok Chiang Mai and Phuket will allow 45 days prior.

What are the experiences and tips for obtaining the Non-Immigrant OX 5-Year Retirement Visa in Thailand?
Stuart *********
Unless you’re applying through the Sydney consulate it’s probably not a visa you’re going to get or qualify for. There have been instances where people have got one but very few and far between unless using Sydney.

Will I face any issues with my 60-day tourist visa upon arrival in Thailand after multiple visits this year?
Stuart *********
You should have no issues as you’re doing what a “typical” tourist would do.

They’re out to get the serial “visa runners” or “border bouncers” not genuine tourists.

What should I do about the departure flight details and vaccination questions on the Non-Immigrant O visa application?
Stuart *********
Departure details are not mandatory fields. Leave them blank. Indeed don’t even click in the boxes otherwise they’ll become mandatory.
