Can You Take Annual 10-Day Trips to the USA on a Thailand Retirement Visa?

Your retirement visa is approved, and you are thinking about family in the USA. You want to visit every year for 10 days. You are worried that leaving Thailand will cancel your visa, or that leaving repeatedly will cause problems. The short answer is that it is completely fine. The slightly longer answer is that you need the right document before you go.

The one year retirement visa is not locked to Thailand. You can leave and return freely. But if you leave without the proper permit, your visa automatically cancels, and you will need to reapply.

How Pim Helps

You can take annual or even more frequent trips to the USA on a retirement visa, provided you obtain a multiple re-entry permit before each departure. The multiple re-entry permit costs 5,000 baht and allows unlimited exits and entries for the duration of your visa. Every time you re-enter Thailand, your 90-day reporting clock resets, so frequent travel actually reduces your reporting requirements. Pim can arrange your re-entry permit before each trip, explain the process, and ensure your visa remains valid for your return.
