TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about their ability to stay outside of Thailand for three months with a recently obtained Retirement Visa (with Multiple Entry) after holding a Non-O Visa. A commenter clarified that as long as the user returns before the expiry of their visa extension and re-entry permit, there are no specific regulations limiting the duration of their absence; they can stay outside Thailand for several months.

You highly likely got 1-year extension and re-entry permit multiple re-entry. There is no regulation on how long you can leave Thailand on those. You can be out of Thailand for a few months or even nearly one year. You just need to be back in Thailand before the expiry date of an extension and re-entry permit, or your extension will expire.

@Leidaneel *******

the re-entry permit will expire at the same time as your visa does. It doesn't extend it at all.
