Question.

I have a retirement visa.  I have ticket purchased to fly BKK to India on 12 January.

Now I have an invite to Philippines but in order to get my BKK to India flight I would have tonovernight in Bangkok.  

What do I do in terms of Re-entry permits.  

First one is to entry through Bangkok.

Then another before fly to India next day?

Or can I stay over one night in Bangkok on a transit visa and have my re-entry permit for when I re-enter from India rather than Philippines. TIA for advice

Answer summary

If you have a retirement visa and plan to transit through Bangkok on your way to India, you will need to obtain a re-entry permit. It's recommended to get a multiple re-entry permit, which allows you to enter and exit Thailand as needed. This permit costs around 3800-4000 THB and can be acquired at immigration offices or at the airport. You will need a separate re-entry permit for each entry into Thailand, even if it's just for an overnight stay.

You need a re-entry permit for every entry. At this point it's probably best to spend 3800-4000 for the multiple re-entry.

You’ll need a re entry permit for every entry even if it’s a day just buy-a multi re entry 3800 at immigration or 4000 at the air port

I thought 1,000 for each re-entry permit. That is why people say if you are leaving/going 4 times or more in a year, get the multi-entry when you get your retirement extension.

visa extension is 1900, re-entry is 1000 and at the airport it's + 100 if you don't have the required documents. So if you do it at the airport and don't have the documents required it's 1100

Get a multiple re-entry permit. You can enter and leave Thailand as much as you want for the duration of your retirement visa.
