Need clarification please.

I just got my retirement visa and i kniw every 90 days must check in with immigrations. Question is if say after 73 days i was to leave the country and later return does my new time remain at 90 days from my re entry date

So i need not worry about the 73 days plus time i was out of the country.
Answer summary
When you leave Thailand with your retirement visa, the 90-day reporting requirement resets upon your re-entry. This means you do not need to combine the time spent inside the country (73 days in this case) with the time you'll be outside; rather, your new reporting period will start from the day you enter Thailand again. However, you are also required to perform a TM30 notification when returning, regardless of your accommodation.

If its the 5 year come and go vise then on a permanent stay you check in, if you leave and return that is your check in with immigration and should re start the 90 days, it's your length of stay in the country from point of entry when each 90 days starts and ends.

@Rj *****
what you call "retirement visa" probably is a "1-year Extension of Stay Permit" based on retirement, and NOT a "visa" at all. . . . . . . . . . so if you don't want to lose this one-year stay permit when exiting Thailand, you need to buy a single re-entry permit für 1000.- THB. You can buy it either at your Immigration or at the BKK airport in the section "Departure 2". The re-entry permit will keep your stay permit alive. When you return, you will be stamped in until the expiry date of the "Extension of Stay Permit". And the 90-days report clock starts over, beginning with the day you enter as day number one. Your old 90-days report slip (in case you still had that in your passport) becomes invalid

You need to get a re-entry permit from immigration or airport. If you don’t your retirement visa will be cancelled and you have to start again and apply for a new retirement visa.

I don't think he still has a "retirement visa". He rather has a one-year stay permit based on retirement (a 1-Year Extension of Stay Permit based on retirement). However you are right, he needs a re-entry permit in order to keep his stay permit alive when exiting Thailand

Is this re-entry permit necessary at the airport, if you have a Non O Multipple entry visa?

Doesn't the new stamp in the passport show this?

if your entering Thailand with a retirement visa with unlimited entries from the Thai royal embassy in your home country and you don’t stay longer then 90 days in Thailand you don’t need to do a TM30. I’ve never done one and never had a problem entering or exiting Thailand. I do stay at the wife’s house not a hotel
