Retirement Visa Renewal/Extention Abroad


Recommended Posts

Is she a Singapore national?  Normally you can only obtain visa in home or country of residence.  And at this time would require full insurance paperwork (O-A visa) and covid requirements.   If she on a non immigrant O visa that was extended for retirement might want to get back now to avoid the need for additional insurance for O-A type retirement/extensions.

 

I am assuming she does have a re-entry permit?

So if can not return before expiration may want to do as above - just come visa exempt or tourist when can and then do the conversion to non immigrant O visa and than extension in Thailand to avoid the need for non O-A insurance complication.  But if that is not an issue she should be able to obtain a new non immigrant O-A visa in Singapore.  But there is no way to continue current extension without a return before it expires.

If she stays until her extension extension of stay based upon retirement expires the best option may be to enter visa exempt if she is from a country that qualifies for one. Then she could apply for a 90 day non-o visa entry and then during the last 30 days apply for a new extension of stay.

That's probably my my plan now....when I do come back. That won't be until they end the 14 day quarantining at an expensive hotel. I might have considered the Phuket sandbox but that seems to be in tatters now.

 

By the way Ubonjoe, can I get that 90 day non O visa at my local IO, which is Kalasin? I want to get back to a non O marriage visa, then 1 year extension. 

 

Or I could get a 90 day non O here in France where I am a resident, but not French, with residency card but it looks from the Paris Embassy website as if that requires me to get Covid insurance as for the O-A but with only €6,000 in my French bank, about half what I would need to show for a 90 day in country non O. Of course I would have to up it to 400k in Thai bank almost on arrival in readiness for the 1 year extension. So I guess it's swings and roundabouts.. Any thoughts?

Yes See: https://bangkokimmigration.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/06-edit_NON-O.pdf

The 400k baht only has to be in the bank on the day you apply.

If you have a residency card you can get the visa at embassy in Paris. You will have to apply for it online at https://thaievisa.go.th/ .

The $100k covid 19 insurance is required for all entries types that is valid for the length of stay. If you get a non-o visa you would need 90 days of coverage.

 

If you enter visa exempt you need a onward ticket to show to the airline when checking in. You can show a one way to ticket to anywhere to meet the requirement or a temporary ticket from a website (search for onward flight).
