Hello all. How many times per year can I enter Thailand with a retired visa? Is that unlimited or is there a limit? Thanks.
Answer summary
If you hold a retired visa (like a Non-O or O-A), there are no strict limits on how many times you can enter Thailand as long as you obtain the necessary re-entry permits before leaving. With a multiple entry re-entry permit, you can enter Thailand unlimited times. The costs for obtaining these permits are 1,000 THB for a single re-entry and 3,800 THB for a multiple re-entry. It's important to note that the re-entry permit keeps your most recent stay permit valid but does not extend the validity of your visa itself.

I answered your question yesterday regarding extension on Non O and visa exemption as you wanted to stay for four months on your Non O.

I understand you ask this question because you want to re-enter later on a new Non O visa.

The best ting for you might be to apply for a one year extension of stay on your current or first Non O visa when you come now. Then you don’t have to do any border crossing to get an exemption for your last month. When you want to come back to Thailand later you just can use your one year extension of stay if you get a re-enter permit and you don’t need to apply for any new 90 days Non O visa next time, you just use your extension of stay based on your first Non O visa. As you’re from The Netherlands your embassy still offer to give you an affidavit letter to confirm your income, so you don’t need to prove this or funds in any other way for your extension of stay in Thailand.

a re-entry permit only keeps the most recent stamped stay permit alive and valid. NOTICE: It does NOT keep the "visa" valid. On Immigration, you can either buy a single re-entry permit for 1000.- THB, or a multi re-entry permit for 3800.- THB. These re-entries will expire on the smae day as the stay permit they were bought for. This datev is NOT the same as the expiry date of the visa validity

Unless you get a re-entry, it's only one. But with a re-entry permit you can enter unlimited times.

all depends on what type of retirement visa and where you get it. A non-o issued inside Thailand doesn't allow any entries without a re-entry permit. A non-o issued outside Thailand allows one entry without a re-entry permit. A non-oa allows multiple entries while valid assuming you have insurance. LTR allows unlimited while valid...

A Non-OA is multi-entry until the Extension of Stay is granted

not quite correct . . . . . . the period of the last stamped stay permit after the expiry of the visa validity of a Non-Imm-O/A visa, is WITHOUT any re-entry permit. To keep the last stamped stay permit alive, in case of an exit of the country, one needs to buy a re-entry permit. This is the period before a 1-year extension of stay gets applied and issued

yes, until the expiry date of the first year visa validity. But it is not included for the second year

I stand corrected, it is multi-entry up to the expiry date.

If you get a multiple entry permit from immigration it’s unlimited. 3900 baht.

Retirement visa and Extension of Stay has no limits as long as you get re-entry permits before you leave and re-enter in time before it expires. There’s no restrictions on how many times you can apply for 90 days Non O (or O-A) visa either.
