Good morning, I am (UK55) moving to Cambodia in November. I am travelling to Cambodia tomorrow for a few days, if I return without a reentry permit will I just get 45 days on arrival, and my O visa (based on "retirement") be cancelled?

 If I don't plan on returning before  my O-visa expires (Dec) is there any advantage to be gained by getting the reentry permit?

Answer summary

If you leave Thailand without a re-entry permit, your current O visa's extension of stay will end. Upon re-entering Thailand, you'll receive a 45-day visa-exempt entry. If you don't plan on returning before your visa expires, there is no advantage to obtaining a re-entry permit.

nope, there is NO advantage at all.

If you're not gonna come back before the extension expires just leave without a re-entry..

IF you leave Thailand without a re-entry permit, your current STAMPED Extension of Stay ENDS.

Then IF you ENTER Thailand Visa exempt you will be stamped in for 45 days. And an added 30 days extension of stay is available for 1900 Thai baht at local Thai immigration office.

There's no reason to get a Re-entry permit as you are planning to move to Cambodia in November.

IF there's ANY POSSIBILITY of your changing your plans on moving to Cambodia... then keep your options open by buying a single re-entry permit 1,000 Thai baht.
