Am I allowed to return to Thailand with a retirement visa after leaving in July?
I have a question I left thailand July 4 ihave retirement visa and multi exit visa with residency am i allowed back into thailand
Answer summary
The user inquires about their ability to re-enter Thailand after leaving in July 2020 while holding a retirement visa and a multi-exit visa with residency. The responses suggest that re-entry is dependent on the type of retirement visa they possess (OA vs. Non-O). Currently, Non-O may not be approved for re-entry, while OA is possible, though quarantine and other travel requirements are necessary. There are mixed opinions on the situation, with some suggesting to wait for possible future changes in visa regulations.

There are 'rumors' floating around that retirement visa (or extension of stay) based on a Non O visa may be added to the list of approved visa types in the near future. No guarantee, but might be worth waiting for; up to you.

If your retirement visa (or extension of stay) is based on a OA visa then you can apply. If based on a Non O visa then no not yet.

Based off an initial OA then you should be able to apply for the CofE.

nice one thank you 🙏🏽 Stuart *********
I’m assuming you don’t have a residence permit as they are very unusual (but can be got) - but if you do then you are allowed.
