I am on a 1 year retirement visa expiring next March. Does anybody know the price for a single re-entry and the price for multilple re-entry? If I get a multiple re-entry will that expire when my 1 year visa expires or can I continue to use on extending my retirement visa?

1000 thb for single, 3800 thb for multiple. Good until the end of your current permission to stay for the multiple version.

Do you have an actual VISA issued by an embassy / consulate? Is it multi-entry?

If so you don't need a re-entry permit until the 'enter before' date has passed. Indeed, if you do a border hop just before the 'enter before' date you'll get another 1 year permission to stay. So 2 years out of a 1 year visa, good eh? You will of course need a re-entry permit to keep this second stay alive.

Ignore the above if you have a retirement extension from immigration inside Thailand.

Do you mean you got a non-imm O-A from an embassy? If so, it's multi-entry until the "use by" date printed on the visa, so you wouldn't need a re-entry permit. As said above, if you do a border hop before the actual visa expires, you'll get another year's permission to stay, but during that period, since the visa will have expired, you would need a re-entry permit.

If you mean you have a one year extension of stay (not a visa) stamp given to you at an immigration office, yes to go out and return to Thailand without losing your permission to stay, you will need a re-entry permit and yes the re-entry permit will expire on the same day as your extension of stay (or as soon as you use it if it's a single re-entry permit).

If you get a multi re-entry permit or a single, it's maximum life with be the same as the extension of stay you (apparently) just got.

Thanks everyone for the replies

Talking of Re-Entry permits, is it a 24 hour service at Bkk Airport, I recall a post by someone saying there where certain times when you can't get it, whereas previous posts have said its 24/7 I'd rather pay the extra 200 Baht for less hassle than waiting at Jomtien which is packed out most days.

Thanks in advance.

At both BKK airports it is a 24/7 service.

Thanks Mario

I haven't had time to go to immigration to get my re-entry. Is the airport a reliable service I can count on? Do I need to bring anything?

I'm departing on Sunday morning..
