Hi and good morning to everyone. I’m here on a retirement visa and still do consultancy work abroad. I recently had to go to Qatar for 3 months. When I left, I got an exit re-entry visa and returned 89 days later. My question is, what happens to those theee months, do you lose 3 months or is your retirement visa extended by 3 months?
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
When leaving Thailand on a retirement visa and using an exit re-entry permit, the duration of your visa does not extend based on the time spent outside the country. In this case, you have effectively 'lost' the three months you were away, as the re-entry permit only keeps your allowed stay date intact.
