My Non O-A Longstay (retirement) visa validity expires on 27 February.

I am about to enter my second year and will be seeking an "Extension of Stay" for another 364 days when I do the border run to Thai-Laos border on 21 February.

Apart from my passport and a further 12 month Health Insurance Certificate renewal, are there any further documents that need to be presented to the Thai Immmigration Officer when re-entering Thailand?

Also, whilst there is a VOA fee to enter Laos is there any fee to come back into Thailand?

Regards!

Graham

TLDR : Answer Summary
When re-entering Thailand on a Non O-A Longstay (retirement) visa, you need to present your passport and a renewed Health Insurance Certificate. There are no additional documents required for the immigration process. While there is a visa on arrival fee for entering Laos, there is no fee to re-enter Thailand.

There is a fee for Laos VOA. They prefer US dollars. From memory it's about $30, but no fee to re-enter Thailand.

You're not actually extending, you're merely getting a new 12-month entry stamp. You only need insurance certificate. Nothing else required
