ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user holds an OA retirement visa valid until March 13, 2026, but their insurance and entry stamp expire on November 20, 2025. They plan to exit Thailand in November, renew their insurance, and return on November 23, which will grant them a new entry stamp valid until November 2026. They inquire about the implications of a potential exit in April 2026, regarding re-entry permits and visa validity. The community confirms that a re-entry permit is necessary after the initial visa expiration, and clarifies that they will indeed be stamped in until November 2026 based on the new insurance.
