How much does it cost to renew a Multiple Entry Retirement Visa, and can it be renewed before 1 year ?.

Is your "Multiple Entry Retirement Visa" an "O" or an "OA" one?

If, as I strongly suspect, the latter, then you don't need to apply for an extension of stay after 1 year at all. Just do a border run a day or 2 before its expiry date, and your passport will then be stamped for another 12 months!

In this connection, I am, of course, assuming that you are, indeed, referring literally to a visa and are not one of those individuals who delight in confusing everyone on here by referring to an extension of stay as a "visa"!

Visas canot be renewed, you only can apply for a new one.

Extensions of stay from immigration in Thailand can be renewed every year at a cost of 1,900 baht and a re-entry permit would cost 1,000 baht (single) or 3,800 baht (multiple).

You cna renew it 30 days early and at soem places even 45 days early, without losing any days.

OJAS - The visa is a category "O", and it's an extension I require, as I put in the heading (forgot to put in the question). Anyway, thanks to both of you that replied.

If you have a multiple entry non-o visa you can do the extension of stay during the last 30 days of any of the 90 day entries you get from the visa.
