I am not sure others will come along soon.. but if its single entry you lose the visa once you leave Thailand. If you want to keep it make it multi entry before leaving.

Glad I saw it this thread. Am I reading this correctly? 

 

What the point of getting a single re entry if you end up losing the retirement extension anyway 

 

I have to go os soon and on retirement extension

RE entry permit is correct term, I have not heard of anyone on a non o being asked for the funds.

If you have a retirement extension, and a valid single or multiple entry reentry permit, you are fine.

 

The OP probably caused confusion by referring to "retirement visa", though in context I am pretty sure he also has an "extension".

No. There is no requirement if re-entering with a re-entry permit.

The OP is talking about a single entry re-entry permit. He doesn't need a multiple re-entry permit. The point of a re-entry permit is to keep the "retirement extension" alive. On re-entry the IO will stamp the person back in for the remainder of their "retirement extension".

 

A multiple entry re-entry permit (3,800 baht) is useful for anyone planning more than 3 trips within the year of the "retirement extension".

No you're not. If you leave the country without a re-entry permit the "retirement extension" ends.

You will need to get a single entry re-entry permit (1,000 baht) form your local immigration office, or at the airport on the way out of the country, otherwise you will lose your "retirement extension" and have to start the process again.
