Retirement Visa Visa Renewal Thailand Visa Process Travel to Thailand One-way Ticket FAQ

ORIGINAL POSTER

I received my retirement visa when I was in Jomtien this summer.  I left Thailand in October, and the date stamped on my visa is Nov 2018.  I want to come back the end of this month and stay from 3 to 6 months, not sure yet.  I have 2 questions:

1.  What will I need to do to renew my retirement visa?  Since I have been gone 4 months, is there anything special I need to do or pay to allow a long term visit?

2.  Can I purchase a one-way ticket to BKK from the states, since I am not sure how long I plan to stay?
