Hello All , I have a question, I’m still little bit confused,

So I have Non O-A Visa with multiple entry stamps will be expired in end of October, I renewed my insurance what is good 2026 October, I’m planning to fly out for few days and Coming back in this Month.

1, I will receive other one more year stamp till to my insurance is valid (2026 October)?

2, when I coming back can I ask for other multiple entry stamps (if I pay extra)?

3,(if I can’t receive Multiple entry stamp)

Can I ask re- entry permit before fly out , (let say in January ) and when coming back my one year visa still valid?

Thank you any advice 🙏

Sorry for too many questions. I’m totally lost.🤔



I am about to apply to renew my visa extension based on retirement,Ihave a unused single re-entry permit ,which I bought when I extended last year.

Does this expire with the current extension or is it valid until used?

I am not sure I followed the proper procedure when I left Thailand. Last ApriI obtained my first non immigrant O visa and then was able to get my one year extension of stay in July. I left the country a couple of weeks later and am not sure if I got my reentry permit. This is a picture of my last passport stamp. Did I mess up and lose my visa status? Please advise. I did buy a multi entry permit as well.

I am holding a marry visa. Soon I have to travel to Germany for couple weeks. Do I need to dl something that my marry visa stays with me for redntry?

I am currently holding a retirement visa in Thailand, valid until March next year. However, when I traveled outside of Thailand last month, I did not obtain a re-entry permit before leaving. (Yes I totally forgot) Upon my return at airport, I was granted a 60-day tourist visa instead.

At the airport, the immigration officer informed me that I could resolve this matter at the immigration office. A week after my return, I visited the immigration office in Bangkok to resolve this. There, the officer explained that my retirement visa could be validated, but my landlord would need to update my residential status in the system.

When I contacted my landlord, she informed me that this update can only be made within 24 hours of my arrival. Since more than 24 hours had passed, she is unable to update it now, as entering false information would be an offense. Without this update in the system, immigration is unable to proceed further.

Therefore, I am kindly seeking your guidance on what I should do next. Does this mean that once my 60-day tourist visa expires, I will need to leave Thailand? Or is there a way to reapply or convert to a new retirement visa within Thailand without having to leave the country? And what if I stay over and let's say I travel in December and apply for re-entry b4 I go, will I get away with it.

Thank you very much for your time, understanding, and assistance with this matter.

Hello everyone, a silly question here but when one is advised to 'ask directly to your local IO', in my case Chaengwatthana. Where do you go and ask your questions directly?

I often find the front desk at the entry pretty much clueless and/or with a poor understanding.

Do I need to ask and probably disturb the officers at the counters inside, where people has a queue number already? Or is it there any useful information area in the building?

Thank you for your help.

Hi, my son is on an ED visa and I'm on a guardian visa with NO re-entry permit. Our visa expires December. We are leaving the country for good on Saturday. Do I need to go to immigration to cancel our visas or will they cancel automatically when we leave on Saturday?

Hi gurus,

I have an OA retirement visa which is valid till 13 March 2026 but my insurance & my entry stamp only give me till 20 November 2025 when my insurance expires. I am exiting the country for a few weeks in November, will renew my insurance, and come back in to Thailand on 23 November 2025. I understand that this will give me another year stamp based on the expiry of my insurance, so in effect, till November 2026. If I want to leave the country again in April 2026 for a few weeks, I believe I will need to get a re-entry permit, but will I be stamped back in till the end of my insurance (November 2026), or how will it work based on that my "visa" only gives me till March 2026? I am a little confused and would appreciate your advice, thanks.

Can I get a retirement visa and spend more time in Australia and work until I get our home built then retire in about two years over there and how often do I need to return and would it be easier to find a agent to help me with everything like bank account and phone number and driving licence and stuff like that

If I received a retirement visa, how many month are you allowed to be out of thailand ?

I don’t fancy 12 months a year in thailand. but possibly 8 months, with 4 months in Europe.

TIA 🙏
