I agree I’m going through it now and having to leave Thailand to do my retirement Visa.

Many thanks to you all for your information, apologies that my first question was a bit confusing. I’m not a border runner as I’m just going through the process of retiring from the armed forces. My partner and I have built a house here in Thailand and she has lived here for the past eight years and I’ve been coming back and forward visiting her.  again, thank you.
