Hi all.

If entering Thailand on a Non O Retirement 90 day visa, are you expected to have a return flight booked  to be able to enter the country, even though your intention is to apply for a 1 one year extension prior to the expiry of your 90 day visa?

Also, how do you apply for a multiple exit/entry permit once your 1 year extension has been granted?

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

When entering Thailand on a Non O Retirement 90-day visa, you are not required to have a return flight booked. Additionally, you can apply for a re-entry permit at the same time you apply for your one-year extension, which will be valid for the length of your permission of stay.

you can purchase a re-entry permit at the same time as you apply for your extension. (they are only valid for the length of your permission of stay).

you can purchase a single entry permit for 1,000 baht or a multi entry for 3,800 baht at the same time you apply for the 1 year extension.

Thank you. What about the multiple entry after 1 year extension is granted?
