Hi all. I have applied for a Non o retirement visa which I believe is single entry but valid for 3 months pre visit.
I would like to go to Bali for 10 days with a friend and then return to Thailand.
Is it possible to travel from the UK as a UK citizen for 30 days, then go to Bali, then use the Non O visa on returning to Thailand? This will be within the 3 months validity of the visa. Thanks in advance for advice.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about traveling to Bali for 10 days while holding a Non-O retirement visa that is valid for 3 months. Answers from the community indicate that it's possible to enter Thailand with the Non-O visa and apply for a re-entry permit to maintain the visa's validity. However, there's a risk that immigration may require the use of the visa upon entry. A personal experience shared suggests that it's possible to explain the situation to immigration and potentially receive an exemption from using the visa for that entry.
