Can I travel to the UK after obtaining a Thai non-O visa and return to Thailand?
I have been reading the posts on here for some time and had my non-o based on retirement all planned out. Now there is a fly in the ointment!
I am a dual citizen of UK/Aus. Resident in Aus for 19 years and have always used my Aus passport to enter the Kingdom. I was going to move as soon as my visa was granted having applied via e-visa to Canberra embassy.It now looks like I need to go to UK shortly after I retire albeit for only a few weeks. My question is if I am granted the non o in Aus and then travel to the UK returning to Thailand will this be ok?

No lecture but thats a lot of flying and Id advise taking an aspirin before flying 4+ hours
I ended up with DVT in 2015, nearly died as the Thai hospitals didnt know what was wrong and ended up flying back to England where I was diagnosed. Doctors said I should have died on the flight back to the UK
Had PE's since as well which nearly killed me whilst teaching in Lopburi!
Wish someone would have warned me about this simple option.

I believe you’ll need a re entry permit to keep your visa alive

Obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand does not compel you to remain there

Not an issue at all. You enter and leave UK on your UK passport. Enter Thailand on your Aus passport.
