hwaetu Go Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Left without a re entry permit which I hear could mess up my retirement visa. Now want to re enter. What to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Social Media Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 AFAIK and assuming you mean "extension based on retirement" The minute you left your extension was dead ! Without a re-entry permit that is now spent and you have to start all over again. (Hope for your sake I'm wrong) You should always get the "re-entry" when the "Extension based on retirement" is issued and that avoids any issues when and if you want to travel.

moe666 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 You will have to get a non-o visa and start the process again it is the same for a renewal except for the part of getting a non-o.. In some cases it is easier to go to Laos for non-o you will need to show proof of income or 800,000 in bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 You will have to start from a non O again, but I believe you can enter on a tourist visa and convert to non O in Thailand. The information is on the TV website, or you can ask in the visa subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Like what the others have said, you have definitely lost your retirement visa and need to apply again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill97 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Can you think of anything else he might have meant? Share, please. Seems like there is talk of a "retirement visa" available outside Thailand, isn't there?Sent from my iPod touch using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart21 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Lost it. BUT - contact lawyer or visa agent before you do anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 OP, what was your point of exit? Sometimes I travel with older people who are repatriating out of Chiang Mai and always the immigration officer asks about the absence of a re-entry permit and I have to explain that the person doesn't plan to return to Thailand. Sometimes this has caused a scene and we've had to go and buy one at the counter at the airport because the person I'm traveling with insists he's returning to Thailand in the very near future. (Sometimes I think the Immigration officers are jerking my chain because they know what I'm doing, i.e. serving as an "escort service"!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, an O-A Retirement visa obtained in the home country. An entirely different thing and different requirements. (AFAIK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
