Had questions about my retirement visa:
Recently approved for 1 year Non-Immigrant O-A visa with multiple entries.I obtained in my home country. It starts when I arrive in a month. So questions are:
When I arrive at airport does immigration put a special 90 day stamp in passport? I know after first 90 days have to report 90 day stay status. I want to return to home country after 6 months, then return in about a month.
Do I have to file any special forms prior to leaving Thailand? Does the 1 year visa automatically renew and start fresh with another 1 year visa? Does anyone have proper experience with this type of visa and best way for no hassle visa renewals. Thanks.
