ORIGINAL POSTERDoes anyone know if u get a non o retirement visa, can you come and go out of the country?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, holders of a Non-O retirement visa can leave and re-enter Thailand as long as they obtain a re-entry permit. This can be a single or multiple-entry permit, which can be acquired at immigration. It is advisable to have a completed form, a photo, and copies of your previous stamps ready when applying for re-entry. Although some users mentioned potential scrutiny for frequent travel, typically, as long as you maintain a long-term visa and the appropriate re-entry permit, you can travel without issues.

Re-entry costs 1000 THB for one time only
Multiple re-entry costs 3800 THB so must go and back more than 3 times to
make it profitable 😉
Can buy at the airport but may take time.

U either get a multi entry / exit on applying so u can leave as much as u wnat or u pay 1000b to get a permit to leave once.
The difference is 3000b so if u leave 1 time u still save 2000b but if u intend to leave alot then pay the 3000b but .. leaving alot will raise alarm bells.

Why will leaving a lot raise alarm bells? On a long-term visa with a multiple re-entry permit you can do what you wish.Darren ******
@Graham *****
so If u spend a week here then out a week and back for 3 days then out , they will not ask anything , no 😂Todd *********
@Darren *****
that’s correct. With multi entry you can come and go as you please. Absolutely no questions askedGraham ******
@Darren *****
Correct, you have a long term visa and a re-entry permit, no questions, no issuesReply to

Yes, as he says you get a re-entry permit at immigration is best (u provide a photo, a completed form and a copy of all your previous stamps), when u come back you must report to immigration! Make sure u have a valid TM30!

@Graham ******
You can do the TM30 report on the app. Takes about two minutesBob **********
@Roberto ********
even totally empty nothing takes ten minutes except answering a questionGraham *******
@Roberto ********
I am pretty new in town, I have read that their "app" has issues! I live walking distance to Jomtien immigration. Doing anything takes 10 mins in person!Roberto *********
@Graham ******
Good for you! Not everyone lives 10 minutes from an immigration office. I've never had a problem with the app, but there again, I enter the information correctly!Reply to
