Re-entry Into Thailand

[davidife]

Hi, I am a UK citizen living in Thailand on a Retirement Visa. I will be travelling back to the UK for my daughters wedding soon. As I have never returned to the UK before, I am not sure where to apply for my Single entry visa to return back into Thailand. I know I can do this at the Thai Embassey/immigration in London as I am staying there on my visit, but I believe I can also apply at Suvarnabhumi airport on arrival, is this correct? Please can you clarify. Thanks, confused Farang!!

You have to apply for a re-entry permit in Thailand, at the immigration office for your area. (The one where you got an extension of stay).

Since you didn't do that, you have to apply for a new non-O visa in London or by mail in Hull. I recommend the last as it is fast and easy to do. Once you get back to Thailand you will get a permisison to stay for 90 days. During the last 30 days you apply for an extension of stay based on retirement, with the usual documents.

Edit:

Moved to visa section for Thailand

He is still in Thailand so the question is what does he have?

Do you have a one year extension of stay for retirement from Immigration?

Or are you just using 90 day visa entry and calling it retirement?

If using an extension of stay you need to obtain a re-entry permit from the same office and use that for your return (gives you the same permitted to stay date as you currently have).

If you mean you will not be here to make a new extension of stay because of the trip try to do early.
