Hi there
This week I am going to extend my retirement visa for another year. At present my visa is multiple entry. I am using an agent and they have said it is more expensive to get a multi entry visa so won't add this option. My question is when I leave Thailand next month on my new visa is there anything I need to immigration wise ? Do I need a permit or anything prior to going to the airport?
TLDR : Answer Summary
When you extend your retirement visa, you do not need to apply for a new visa if you want to leave Thailand. However, you will need a re-entry permit if you wish to return after leaving. You can obtain this permit at your immigration office or at the airport right before departure. The costs are 1000 baht for a single re-entry permit or 3800 baht for a multiple re-entry permit at the immigration office, and slightly higher fees apply at the airport.
