Can I leave Thailand on a single-entry retirement visa and then apply for a multi-entry visa after my extension?

Mark ********

@Paul ******

You're making hard work of this. Read again what Brandon has said. Keep in mind there is no "renewal", it is called an "extension of stay". There is no multiple entry extension of stay. You simply buy a re-entry permit, either single or multiple, which will allow you to re-enter on this extension

That's strange. I think revenue offices are like immigration - they all make their own rules. I went to my closest office and enquired, just showed pension statement and the

He's right. NZ is the same. I guess self-managed pension schemes might be different but they're as rare as hens teeth. Most pension superannuation schemes are through the employer to get tax benefits. I've been to the revenue department here in Bangkok and they sent me away, said I don't have to do anything. Those DTAs are great

@Charlie ********

All depends on your DTA. I get a pension from NZ which is not taxable in Thailand, so I don't need to file a return.
