Do I need to file a 90-day report after converting to a Non-O visa, and how long is a multiple re-entry permit valid in Thailand?

Question

I get my Non-O based on retirement stamped in today.  I converted from a MTV entry.  I have a couple of questions:

- I’ve been in Thailand 90 days since my last entry as of tomorrow.  Do I need to do a 90 day report even though I’ve been to immigration twice in the last month… MTV 30 day extension and conversion to Non-O?

- How long is a multiple re-entry permit valid?  For example, is it valid only to the end of the current permitted to stay stamp or good for a year?  My Non-O stamp will be good till late November and I’ll do a one year extension.  I have multiple trips in the next year but only one in the next couple of months during my initial Non-O.  Is it worth getting the multiple re-entry now or just do a single now and then the multiple after the year extension is stamped in?

Thanks!

The user has successfully converted to a Non-O visa based on retirement and has questions regarding the 90-day reporting requirement and the validity of re-entry permits. It is clarified that the 90-day reporting does not begin until an individual has received a one-year extension. Additionally, multiple re-entry permits are valid until the current stamp from the Non-O visa expires, and a new permit will need to be obtained once the year extension is granted.

AND

once you get the year extension you will have to get a NEW re-entry permit and it will be good for the whole year
