ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When you hold a 3-month non-O retirement visa in Thailand, the clock starts ticking upon your entry. Leaving Thailand without a re-entry permit means that your visa will expire at the point of exit, which 'eats into' your 90-day period. To retain your entry stamp upon return, you must obtain a re-entry permit before leaving. If you have a COVID-19 exemption visa, it does not qualify for a re-entry permit and will stop upon leaving. The non-O retirement visa is typically for 3 months initially, but extensions are available, allowing for a longer stay once you apply.
