TLDR : Answer Summary
The maximum time allowed outside Thailand on a single exit re-entry visa, specifically for a non-O retirement visa, is determined by the validity of your entry stamp. Your re-entry permit remains valid only until the expiration of that entry stamp, meaning you need to return to Thailand before it expires to apply for an extension. It's worth noting that a re-entry permit does not extend your overall time in Thailand; the duration of your stay continues to decrement while you are outside the country.

You can stay out of Thailand the rest of your life. The last day you could go back in on that visa is the date on your relevant entry stamp.

A re-entry permit is valid until the end of the stamp you bought it with. So when your entry stamp is done so is your re-entry permit. You would need to be back in Thailand to apply for an extension before that ends. A re-entry permit does not give you any extra time in Thailand and your stay continues ticking down when you're outside Thailand.

so if my non o visa expires

next year can the exit re-entry be used up until that date please and do I have to show intended date on exit reentry form please

@Barry *******
yes you can use it until that date. You just write a date on the form. It doesn't matter. It's valid from when they put it in your passport until your expiration date.
