I have a retirement visa with a one entry re exit, it says we must visit immigration before leaving the country on my passport.Any idea why apart from the obvious.ie visit immigration

Re-entry:

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know or have experience on how long or how many days do I have to stay outside of Thialiand to get my DTV re-entry stamp ?

Thank you

Has anyone experienced airport immigration charging above normal rate for re-entry permits vis a vis local immigration offices, i know there is a small charge for photo and providing forms, but I normally take photo and fill in form before I go and charge is standard for actual re-entry stamp……actual experience rather then heresay please……..

As somebody who has their first Non O — 1 year Extension of Stay date coming up at Bangkok Immigration, I have 2 questions; 1). Am I supposed-to in advance glue one of the 2 recent identical headshots required, to the application form? AND 2. If II have already a preplanned trip back to America this summer, and to avoid dealing with it at the airport in June, is it possible to receive a valid EXIT STAMP in my passport at the end of the upcoming Extension of Stay appointment?

I'm 2 year in on a non o retirement visa from the UK. I've been going home a few times a year with reentry permit. My visa is due for renewal in December my question is I want to go home for an extended stay possibly up to 6 months in May....is this possible or is there a time limit I can stay outside of Thailand before it affects my visa ? From what I've found out 45 days is the limit ....is this right ? What would be the best way round this ? I have the 800,000 Bhat in a Thai bank....Thanks

Question on expiring passports and extension of stay.

I have an OA visa and I am on an Extension of Stay to October 2025 (multi-entry). I do the extension in early September each year.

My (Australian) passport will expire in January 2026.

I have read various posts about this and it seems to me that the simplest approach is to get a new passport before attempting the extension.

I think I can renew the passport in Thailand, but this seems quite a lengthy process.

As an alternative, I have no problem with renewing my passport in Australia mid-year prior to doing the extension in Thailand in September. But that will mean that I leave Thailand on the old passport, and return with the new.

As I understand it, I simply show both passports on return and get the existing extension moved to the new passport once I have arrived.

What is unclear to me is

(a) I have an existing multi-entry stamp in my old passport. Is this still valid (and thus allowing re-entry)?

(b) Once arrived back in Thailand, do I need to immediately "transfer the stamps", or can I just wait until I do the extension, (showing both passports + associated paperwork/insurance/funds etc), as the new extension will go straight into the new passport.

Looking for advice on flaws in my logic/understanding.

Thanks all.

I have a pending consideration stamp in my passport. We plan to leave Thailand for an overseas trip. Will my visa application be cancelled? Google search says it will. Anyone have any experience with this?

Good day.

I am married to a Thai person and we stay about 6 months in Thailand and the rest of the time in my country of residence. We normally break up these stays to periods of 2 to 3 months at a time. So we do quite a bit of traveling.

My question: is there any visa that I should apply for or should I just enter on a tourist visa?

is the re-entry permit for calendar year or through end of current visa?

Do you need a re-entry permit while on the DTV visa?
