TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is inquiring whether they must stay in Thailand for 90 days after obtaining a Non-O retirement visa before applying for a multi-entry visa, or if they can handle this within the 90 days before applying for an extension. A comment clarifies that while a re-entry permit can be obtained, it will only be valid for the duration of the 90 days, necessitating a return before the period ends to apply for the one-year extension.

You can get a re-entry permit but it's only going to be valid until the end of your 90 days. You need to be back before that ends so you can apply for the 1-year extension.
