im.in SEOUL KOREA. I have a new one year thai multiple entry retirement visa. my 12 year old son is with a nanny in Thailand. i have sole legal custody from the Thai court i am his biological father on his birth certificate. Can i use my valid Retirement visa to return? its an O visa. My son has no mother or other family.
Answer summary
The user holds a one-year multiple entry retirement visa and seeks to return to Thailand, where his 12-year-old son is currently cared for by a nanny. He has sole legal custody of his son, confirmed by a Thai court. Other comments suggest that while he should be able to use his retirement visa for entry, he must also apply for a Certificate of Entry (COE) and contact the Thai consulate in Seoul for guidance on the re-entry process, including any COVID-19 related protocols.

Should be no reason why not. You still need to apply for the COE. I read your situation in previous post maybe a visit to explain and get a contact from someone there.

P.S can i forward you my sons CV he just finished his degree in film and TV production and most projects stalled (i had to ask)

Where did you get the new one year multi-entry "retirement" visa?

As far as requesting permission to re-enter thailand, you would apply to return based on having a half thai child

BUT

you should be able to use the currently valid retirement visa as the visa you enter with

you need to contact the thai consulate in Seoul to start the request to re-enter process, get the quarantine booked, repatriation flight, covid insurance etc.
