Travel on a retirement visa

[gandalfinthai]

Hi folks,
I just did my 90 day renewal/reporting and I want to take a trip to Siem Reap. How will this affect my visa? Will it change my next reporting date>

You need to obtain a re-entry permit from Immigration at 1,000 Baht. Your 90 day reporting will start again from the date that you re-enter Thailand.

I have a multiple entry visa, so do I still have to pay 1000 B?

Pretty sure that providing your visa is still valid, then no need for a re-entry stamp, although when you return from your visit, you need to report to Imm within the first couple of days to get a new 90 day report date.

No you don't need too pay anything because you have a multi entry visa.
The information given is correct only if you have a single entry visa.

Maybe you should have made that clear to start with.
The 90 day reporting starts from the date that you re-enter Thailand. You do not go to Immigration to get a new 90 day date, and the jury is still out on the reporting to Immigration within 24 hours of arrival back in Thailand. Myself, and many others, have not done it and have no intention of doing it.

With a multiple entry visa you do not need to do anything except document your visa number on your return entry card. Very simple and no further costs

I guess the OP must have multi entry OA. If it was multi entry O then he'll never be in the country more than 90 days so no need to report.
As has been said, as long as the visa is still valid on return to Thailand then the OP will get another year.
90 day clock is reset when you re-enter.

I was under the impression that after leaving Thailand, you are expected to report to Imm for a new 90 day reporting date in your passport, even if your previous 90 day date is a date in the future, e.g. You have a 90 day date of December 20th, you leave Thailand on say 19th November, return on December 3rd so still have 17 days left, but are you not required to report within 24 hours (or thereabouts) and get a new 90 day period?

The 24 hour thing is a rule that HH have enforced in the past but is about the only Imm office to do so. Basically with that, you're informing them that you're back at your address. As Nereus has said, many living here don't bother with it and I'm one of them and have never been pulled on it.
The 90 day reporting date is re-set when you re-enter the country from day 1. You'll have to count up the days yourself as I've never known Imm at the airport or any other border crossing doing it for you.
If Imm ask why you're late, according to the old report slip, just point out that you exited before 90 days were up and the next 90 day period began with your entry stamp.
The only thing is that they might pull you on not reporting within 24 hours but that isn't necessary to get another 90 day reporting period. The two reports are separate of each other.
I must admit that when I've been out of the country I do report on the date that's indicated on my original slip even I might have only been back for 20 days. That seems to confuse them and as said they've never told me I should have been there within 24 hours.

As the recognised "expert" on the subject, I'm happy to go with your advice.

Thanks Guys. I think I will do as Moderator suggests. By the way - I do have have a multi entry OA.
