Retirement Visa Visit Abroad

[klause]

Hi ;

we have retirement visa which issued date 27 april 2012 .. ( multiple)

and at the end page of the our passport is a date 25 july 2012 ( after 3 months)

which tahat we have to visit again the immigration office (if we stay in Thailand )

we have been told that we dont have to be in immigration office if we are still in abraod a in 25 july 2012 ;

anyway ..

18 june 2012 we will fly to Europe visit friends BUT we dont know when?exacktly we will be back

to Thailand ! if we return for example : 23 july 2012 to thailand from europe

than do we have to visit immigration office before our 3 months expried ?

or how is that ? what if we return in a later time to thailand 3 of August for example; what will be than ?

what will be our date of next visit of immigration office ? if we have to visit there every 3 months?

is seem a bit chaotic!! they must give a little hand book to explain about it with all details ;

because there are very much details in non visas.

we have multiple retirement visa ; we dont have to visit immigration office if we go abroad next

but we have to visit immigration office every 3 months ( compulsory)

the problem is if we often go and come inside-out ; the 3 months immigration office visit will be a bit confused.

Thanks )

I assume you are writing about doing your 90 day reports and have a one year extension of stay.

If you leave the country before your report is due you do not have to report. When you return you do your report 90 days from the date you re-enter the country.

I assume also that you have a multiple re-entry permit that will allow you leave the country without loosing your extension of stay.

Do you have a permitted to stay date one year from date of entry? Very important to prove you have the non immigrant O-A visa entry that is often called retirement. Yes any stay of 90 days or more requires you file a TM.47 address report with immigration but if you leave before 90 days the count would start on day of return.

You do not need or want a re-entry permit if you have a valid multi entry non immigrant O-A visa when you will return. Only if beyond expiration date of actual visa would you want that (which does not provide a new one year stay from date of entry but only the previous permitted to stay date).

my retired visa expried 25 july 2013... it has time ... my questions was about every 3 months visit immigration .. how will be after abroad back to thailand.. thanks

Day of return is day one of a new 90 day report period so you report 90 days after return if you do not leave again - if you leave it starts on day of return again - so if you travel a lot you may never have to make 90 day reports

so..if i leave before 90 days the count would start on day of return. i understood..

but do i have to go to immigration office and report them that i am back or not ?

(my retired visa experied 25 july 2013)

thanks

It gets confusing because some people incorrectly refer to an extension of stay as a visa.

If you have an non immigrant OA multiple entry visa then you will get another 1 year entry when you return to Thailand.

I think I answered your question about the reporting to immigration every 90 days.

Edit: You do not need to notify immigration until 90 days after you return.

[lopburi3]

No you do not have to report unless here 90 days or more without leaving.

Day of return is day one of a new 90 day report period so you report 90 days after return if you do not leave again - if you leave it starts on day of return again - so if you travel a lot you may never have to make 90 day reports

Thanks alot ) is very clear understood

And almost all immigration offices allow you to report by mail, so yu don't have to go there in person.

Think about it ---- when you arrive back in Thailand,somebody stamps your passport with your date of arrival. Maybe immigration people. This is the date your new 90 days starts counting.

"(my retired visa experied 25 july 2013)"

Is that date a mistake?

A visa or permission to stay would only be good for a year. That date is over 13 months away from today.

Am I missing something?

He apparently entered Thailand in April on a Non Imm visa, got stamped in for 90 days, until 25 July 2012. During that period, he got his one-year retirement extension, which began at the end of his initial 90 day stamp. Ergo, the "until" 25 July 2013 one-year extension period.
