Hello guys,

Can I come back to Thailand on a TR60 (tourist visa) even though I still have a valid NON-O Retirement extension on my passport?
Answer summary
The user is inquiring whether they can enter Thailand on a TR60 tourist visa despite holding a valid NON-O Retirement extension. Comments advise that if the user left Thailand without a re-entry permit, their NON-O extension may have been canceled, and they might be eligible for a visa-exempt entry if they're an Italian citizen, thus not requiring a tourist visa.

Do you have a re-entry permit? If not, your non-O extension has already expired

allora è un po' complicata la situazione! Non potresti avere un altro visto e ne entrare con l esenzione perchè hai un valido permesso di rientro! La soluzione migliore è sfruttare il permesso di rientro e li estendere di un anno! Lo so che tu hai detto non vuoi fare un altra estensione pero' se hai I requisiti per ottenerla richiedila alla fine ti costa 1900 bath che è piu economico dell altra opzione che sarebbe uscire e rientrare dal paese entro il 14 Novembre ma questa è rischiosa perchè stanno Facendo controlli molto piu severi se tu negli anni precedenti sei stato in thailandia con un non immigrant visa loro possono pensare che non entri per motivi turistici e allora ti possono negare l ingresso! Poi se non hai I requisiti per richiedere l estensione allora sei costretto a riuscire e rientrare via Terra ma è meglio che non fai da solo ma ti rivolgi ad un agenzia del posto da solo potresti avere problemi con un agenzia al 99%dovrebbe filare tutto liscio

because I'm coming back in October, my NON-O Retirement extension expires in November and I'm not going to extend it further.

If you left with a re-entry permit your extension and permission to stay is still valid and you can’t apply for a new visa. You therefore need to enter on your current extension and do a border bounce to get a new 60 days visa exemption when it expires. If you hold a Italian passport you don’t need a 60 days tourist visa as you’re entitled to a 60 days visa exemption. I would have used a professional landborder company for the border bounce. If you didn’t get a re-entry permit before you left, you can apply for a 60 days tourist visa if feels more convenient for you since you’ve already had a long term stay.

assuming you bought a re-entry permit?

Ok if it’s multiple re-entry permits you’ll have to wait until the extension expires and do a border bounce. If single re-entry you can do a border bounce a time before your extension expires. If you go by a landborder point I would have used a landborder transport company to do the bounce now.
