Why was my request for a single re-entry permit on a Non-O retirement visa denied at immigration in Koh Phangan?

The user, holding a Non-O retirement visa, attempted to obtain a single re-entry permit at an immigration office in Koh Phangan. However, the officer denied the request, citing the need for bank statements as proof of financial stability, despite the user having followed the appropriate visa route. Comments suggest that the denial might be due to the visa being issued in a different location, and recommendations were made to either obtain the re-entry from the original issuance site or purchase one at the airport.
