Why do they not stamp "Retirement Visa" in a passport? Because the stamp granting the extension is a PERMIT. A permit is what it is; extending permission to stay is what it does.

uffe123 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I'am now on a o visa and in the past did border runs every 90 days. Was not aware that you had to have 400k for a new O visa. Is this true? This something new?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately the reason a foreigner gets a visa is to gain permission to be in a country for x time. The Permit issued by Thailand extending a stay does exactly that; therefore it’s a visa.

Your definition of 'Visa' is incorrect. Where did you take it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
