What do I need to do before returning to Thailand on an OA Retirement visa that expires soon?
My wife and I are on an OA Retirement visa. This expires on January 23 2023. Our intention was to leave Thailand ( currently in Perth, Western Australia) and return on the 12 January 2023 and get stamped back into Thailand for another 12 months. We have our health insurance requirements for this visa. Is there anything we are required to do prior arriving back at Phuket airport?

@Fran ****
most offices allow 30 days prior. Some allow 45 days prior. You cannot do an extension from overseas.Stuart *********
Do remember that on your “second” year of that visa you’ll need to buy a re-entry permit to keep the date “alive” if you intend to leave and return at anytime during the year.

Thank you Stuart.Brandon ************
As long as you have the insurance and your passport and visa you should be good to go.
