Is it difficult to travel abroad on a retirement visa while adhering to Thailand's 90-day reporting rule?

Stay in Thailand ..it's great jo need to go any where else ...every thing is there

The 90 day reporting gets "reset" when you leave Thailand. It starts countiing from 1 again once you enter Thailand again.

When you leave Thailand, you NEED a re-entry permit, otherwise your visa gets cancelled.

You can choose between a single entry or a multiple entry. The multiple entry gives you unlimited re-entries for the whole duration of your yearly extension.

You can apply for for re-entry before at immigration (i do it on the same day when I go to apply my yearly extension to save a trip). At the moment you apply you need to give some information about your trip out of Thai, but that's not important if youndon't know the exadt dates etc... just make a guess.

Your can also apply for re-entry at the airport just before you leave Thailand. People do it without problems, but I still prefer applying in advance at immigration for peace of mind.

You need a multiple reentry permit before you leave the country, and the 90 days begins again every time you re-enter

If you're not in Thailand then you don't need to do report that you've been in Thailand for 90 days because you're not there.
