I have to renew my Non-O retirement visa in February (BKK Immigration). In May I’m leaving for 4 months. Can I renew and do the re-entry permit at the same time? If yes do I need 2 appointments with different officers or do they do it at the same time? Bonus question: if I renew my visa, does the 90 days counter start new?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can renew your Non-O retirement visa and apply for a re-entry permit at the same time, but you will need to visit different sections of the immigration office for each process. First, apply for your year extension in Section L-1, then after receiving the extension stamp, go to Section C-2 for the re-entry permit. Additionally, the 90-day reporting will only reset when you re-enter Thailand after traveling.
