I am on a retirement visa , what's happens if I leave country , get a Re-entry permit to stop my visa being cancelled but I miss the 90 days of reporting cos I am out of the country, I have heard you can do it via email the reporting so can I do that , does it go against you if you lie your in the country but your not . ?? Surely they can see I am not in courtry cos of the stamps on passport , I am hoping I don't have to lie on email reporting and my re - entry permit I paid for covers it , and I don't have to worry of reporting as I am out of the country ?

The more and more I read about all these retirement visa problems, I wish I now never bothered to come to thailand, have a photo of the place of where you staying for residence lol, Christ sake do they want sperm DNA also . Think I just about had enough of it already and not even arrived yet ,I knew I should have stuck with Cambodia, phils or Vietnam where I am sure they would welcome my retirement with less hassle and stress

ok I see what you mean now, it dont add any time on extension of stay, If I leave for Uk Yeah I understand that , so if I got extension of stay from Feb 2026 to Feb 2027 , if I am out of Thailand for 3 months then I loose 3 months on the extension ,

to get an extension of stay one year do you need police check , I have a police check when it was first done in 2019 printed certificate , all clear record, I then registered my police check on the online criminal update service this means I can give the info to look at it online only , they won't print another certificate with a new date of 2025 . Cos anyone can view the criminal police check online with my permission this is how our police checks now work in UK ,they have gone digital to stop having to print certificates to save paper and also as lots get stolen in the post which is Causing fraud and copy of Identity .Will my 2019 printed physical copy be accepted or will thailand accept looking at my criminal record online to view it themselves. ( I doubt it )

for me even if they don't ask for criminal check I would still supply them one , cos for me that makes it look good in applying for a visa with no hassle or consequences in the future , maybe it would put me in there good books, they may have a laid back attitude ,but for me things are changing in thialand like the recent banking problems, they are becoming strict to stop the riff raff coming to there country and I don't blame them , if Thailand end up like UK, I will find another place to live , so I do hope they implement more checks , I would not want any of my children in danger if you know what I mean lol

uk Goverments reply : No, once you are registered in the DBS Update Service, you do not get a new physical certificate. The service is designed to keep your single certificate up-to-date online, allowing employers to check its status for free with your consent. You will only receive a new physical certificate if your original one is lost in the post or if a new check is initiated due to a status change. , ( and if my original one is Lost , they will send another but with the date of 2019 on it , which is no good for visa requirements, they want see certificate within last 3 months. Surely thailand dont let in any Tom Dick and Harry with criminal records in , Fred west may as well tried to emigrate to Thaialnd, and maybe they learned there lesson from Garry glitter lol
