Thanks for all the replies to this.Here is the follow up.My visa agent in Pattaya said yes as soon as you get a new retirement visa ( 3 months before old one expires) the re entry permit that I got at the same time becomes void even though I haven’t used it.I went to Jomtien immigration and they confirmed this too. So I have since got a renewed retirement visa and a few days later got a new re entry permit .

So I am going to apply early ( can do 3 months before)this week for a renewal of my retirement visa.But I have a re entry permit that doesn’t finish until December 2025.This re entry permit hasn’t been used yet but want to exit Thailand once I have my new retirement visa.Does my re entry permit become void once I apply for my new retirement visa? Thanks

So I have a slow puncture that is needing air more often.Normally I would just go out and get a new tyre and been quoted 1000 baht.But in few weeks probably going home for a few months so was going to wait till I come back but need to take action now.I see on the tyre it says tubeless. I know on bicycles inner tubes can be fitted but is that done on motorbikes?. If the inner tube idea not so good and too much messing around I will just go ahead and replace.Any suggestions Thanks

Was hoping people on retirement visas don’t have to do this but it looks like all visitors have to do it.

Yes exactly the same except I have the word “Single” and valid until December 2023.So that must get used then when I re enter Thailand this week after being away for about 7 weeks.

Ok thanks i just found that in my old passport with expiry December 2023 mine is a single but will hopefully be returning in the next week.

Ok will get the TM30 sorted thanks.A re entry permit that will be a separate stamp in passport? Am I right in thinking I was automatically given just the one exit/ re entry when I got my retirement visa last year?.I am back in Uk and will return soon

Yes I used an agent and will use agent for next extension.I applied for my first retirement visa last November but because my old passport expires this December had it explained to me I could not get the full 15 months so I lost something like 2-3 months.

Yes I think that’s it.I sorted my retirement visa whilst in Pattern.It is my first one 12+3 so 15 months altogether was how it was explained to me . The re entry permit I think I automatically have one that comes with the Visa?.I was offered to buy a multiple one but I knew I was only going to do one exit then re entry. Does that sound right?

Hi I will be returning to Thailand soon after being away for about 7 weeks.While I was last there I got my first retirement visa with just the one exit.While back in the UK I got my new passport.I assume I can re enter ok on my retirement visa that doesn’t expire till December? I assume that check in desk staff will be ok with that as I will have just a one way ticket flight not a return? Also would a TM 30 be required?Before I have stayed in hotels but this time will be staying with girlfriend in Pattaya. Thanks.
