Non-O Retirement Visa : Leaving Thailand for short trip

[bobonzo]

I am residing here in Thailand on a Non-O Retirement visa. I am planning a short trip out of Thailand next month. I believe I can just depart but this will screw up my exisiting Non-O. I also believe if I go to Immigration and get an exit visa, this will NOT screw up my existing visa.

 

Is this correct ?

 

Also am I correct that I will need a TM-8 form to obtain the exit visa from Immigration ?

 

Thanks

You would apply for a re-entry permit. A exit visa does not exist.

You can get a single re-entry permit for a fee of 1000 baht or a multiple for 3800 baht.

Yes.

 

That is the application form required for a ‘Re-Entry’ permit (“exit visa”).

Does anyone know - if you complete the TM8 and choose "multiple entries" do you have to put anything in the travel details section that follows (its seems to be for a single re-entry) ??? ............

You don’t need to worry about the travel date/s. Leave them blank, or give an approx date. 

 

You don’t have to use the re-entry permit on any dates given. Whether single or multiple it will be valid for re-entry up to it’s expiry date.
