What happens if my retirement extension of stay in Thailand expires while I'm outside the country?
Would like to confirm something: if outside of Thailand when an extension of stay expires (ie a retirement extension) It is then cancelled, correct? And we begin all again, either in Thailand or in another country. If we want to return for a week or two, on USA passport, should be able to do visa exemption as long as we have the 3 proof-ofz available should we be asked. Thoughts? Do I have it right? Thx all.
