Not quite sure what you’re asking here. If you have a Non O visa (rather than a Non OA) it’s not multiple entry. It’s a single entry visa.

On entry you’d get a stamp for 90 days (actually 89 further days as day 1 is your entry day).

I have a Non O12 month Multiple entry retirement visa. I have exited and rendered Thailand without issue with the visa remaining good until the anniversary extension date according to the officer who stamped me in.

you have a non O yearly extension with a multiple entry permit. Terminology matters.

Which retirement visa have you got? Is it a type O-A visa ? 12 months? Or a type O visa 90 day?

If it's an O-A visa you will enter thailand show them your e visa and you will be stamped in for 12 months or up to your insurance due date. If it's a type O based on retirement you will get a 90 day stamp

is just read your other posts and see you are on an extension on a type O retirement visa and have multiple entry. If this is true then just go through immigration as normal show your visa and you will get stamped in for the duration of your visa extension.

Graeme ******

you just fo through immigration and show them your visa and you will get stamped in, no need to go any where else. Is this an extension on your type O visa? if so you will be stamped in for the full duration of your extension? If it's the first time you have used the non O it will be a single entry and you will get 90 day stamp, if you want an extension then you will need to open bank account etc. In your first week so you have time to meet the requirements. If the type O retirement isn't extended then after 90 days it will be used

I do have a simpler question not sure if you can help ?

I fly into bkk and then have an internal flight to phitsanulok from dmk would you think 3 hours is enough time to reach dmk and check in?

Graeme ******

yes I would have thought so, once you get your bags 🎒 as long as your flight is on time. Who are you flying with to thailand

Graeme ******

thats ok you should get stamped in up to your extension expiry date i.e more than 90 days. The initial non O will give you a 90 day stamp, you now have an extension so you can stay in thailand up to your extension date and then renew
