Non o visa questions

[bangkokspur]

gents

 couple of stupid questions

just back from CW missed out by one day on changing my arrival visa (one you get on plane) to a Non O visa..... had to get a 30 day extension no issue there very quick.

my plan was to apply for a retirement visa (which i do met all the requirements) only thing is i am not retired yet and i will be travelling out side the country quite a few times a year so is it worth it? where i work there is no thai embassy so i can apply for a tourist visa etc. the reason i am doing this was i got the third degree from immigration when i flew in, had all the right answers for them but they did advise i got the relevant visas (second pull in 17 years not bad) so its about time i did the right thing.

i am married but not legally, have one child i am natural father (but have no rights unless legally married)  

Now comes the stupid questions

1. how long does this Non O visa last for

2. can i get a multiple entry on it.

3. If i do receive this retirement visa and i am out the country how do i report every 90 days.

4. Do i have to get any  kind of stamp etc at the airport before flying so i can get back in without any issues. 

 

your advice and comments are most welcome

cheers

1. The visa issued by immigration will only allow one 90 day entry that is stamped as soon as the visa is issued. Then during last 45 days of that 90 day entry you can apply for a one year extension of stay based upon retirement. If you are using the 800k baht in the bank option it will need to be in the bank for 60 days on the date you apply for the extension.

2. You can a apply for a re-entry permit (single 1000 baht) that will keep the 90 day entry from the visa valid if you want to travel before you apply for the extension of stay. After getting the extension you can apply for a multiple re-entry permit for a fee of 3800 baht.

3. You do not need to do a report of staying longer than 90 consecutive days unless you stay that long.

4. There is no stamp needed before leaving the country. Some airports have a desk to apply for a re-entry permit mentioned in 2.
