TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the process of obtaining a re-entry permit when leaving Thailand on a Non-O visa based on retirement and how it interacts with their extension. The response clarifies that once the user applies for the year's extension, it will add a year to the expiration date of their current 90-day visa. However, a Non-Immigrant visa obtained inside Thailand does not automatically come with a re-entry permit; the user must apply for the re-entry permit after obtaining the extension.
