I would imagine you are back in the pool and probably looking for a non immigrant o visa,which dependant on age could be converted to a "retirement" visa

You can switch to "retired" quite possibly. You'll have to take/bring the new required papers (income, bank deposit, whatever) but they can do it while you wait - if they feel like it.

If you can go get a Non-Imm O multiple that would get you a year+.

How about doing a Thai course and getting an Education visa.

 

Perhaps the lesson is wider, absolute trust is wasted on other people.

Hi,

You are to young, for the easy way out, lucky you, for a retirement visa. I don't know what country you are from, if U.K. you can get a multi-O visa and extent it for a year in LOS. giving you, if you work it right about two and a half years here. Crossing border every 90 days. I got fed up with this and got a marriage visa. Don't have to leave country now.

Cheers Doug.

You must be fifty years old for a retirement visa, so you are out of luck there. I have a Brit friend who goes to Laos, posts his passport to his sister in the UK and she posts it to Hull. They ask no questions, issue the extension and post it back to her. She then posts it back to Laos. The Express mail is expensive but at least secure. It takes him about ten or twelve days to complete the process. It is then good for fifteen months with every 90 days in and out border runs.

Wh,wh,what.When did this extension to an O visa by 1 yr become possible.Its a new one on me,good news if its fact.

I can't see it. The visa isn't extended, only the "right to remain" in the country. I've never heard of getting a visa extended locally for a year that still required you to do border runs. Exactly the opposite - you have to pay for the privilege of leaving the country in the form of re-entry permit(s).

Hi sexpat67,

I am 47 and not old enough to get retirement too.

I am living here using non-Immigrant O Visa "to visit a friend" that I get every 15 month in Hull. I get it from France by postal mail. Hull will send you back passport + visa as long as the address is in Europe.

This Visa is valid 1 year from emission and can give you as many up-to-90 days stays that you want during this year. I do a visa-run every 89 days. If you enter (or visa run) just before he expires you can get another 90 days and then nearly 15 month in total.

With this system I go back France every 15 month to say hello to my parents... and get a new Hull Visa.
