Sixty day tourist visa is good for one entry, upon entering you will receive sixty days. At the end of that sixty days you can apply for a thirty day extension at any immigration post, this will give you another 30 days for a total of 90 days.  This type of visa is applied for outside of Thailand at any Thai Embassy usually in your home country before comming to Thailand.

The non-immigrant type “O” visa is available as either a single entry, for a 90 day stay, or as a multiple entry, 12 month visa.

The single entry “O” visa allows you to spend up to 90 days within Thailand, And that can be extended for an additional 30 days for a fee of 1,900 Baht at the immigration office, thereby giving you a total of 4 months. After that you could exit and re-enter Thailand for a 30 day stamp at a land crossing or 30 days at the airport. Or you could travel outside Thailand to obtain a tourist visa or nonimmigrant “O” visa.

The 12 month multiple entry type "O" visa allows you to leave and re-enter Thailand an unlimited number of times during that 12 month period. Every time you enter Thailand you will receive a stamp in your passport permitting you 90 days stay in Thailand. Also at your option this 90 day stamp can be extended for an additional 30 days at immigration for a fee of 1,900 Baht.   After that you will have to leave Thailand and re-enter to receive another 90 day stamp in your passport. There are many companies that can assist you with transport and visa requirements to the nearest border crossing to get a new 90 day stamp in your passport. These border run services as they are called, cost as little as 1,800 Baht up to around 2,500 Baht for the VIP treatment.  Everything is included such as the visa fee for the neighboring country, and some include breakfast and lunch.

A one year multi entry visa is good for one year, effectivly if you did a visa run just before the visa expires you could actually end up with  an additional 90 days making a total of 15 months stay. Furthermore after that last three months have run out you can still get an 30 day extension for 1,900 Baht at any immigration office.

• You can do your 90 day address report up to 14 days prior to the 90 day date or within 7 days after. Bear in mind they count the first day as one which means you really have 6 days after. Be careful of holidays if you are waiting until the last minute, if your last day falls on a day immigration is closed, it is no excuse.  The fine for being late is 2,000 Baht and if you are arrested the fine is 4,000 Baht plus all the misery of being in a Thai jail.
• You should do the address report in person I usually go a few days before the 90 day date. You are allowed to have a representative do the address report for you if you want. Also you have the option to do the address report by registered mail.
• If you leave Thailand with a re-entry permit before the 90 days is up you do not have to worry about reporting. When you re-enter Thailand your 90 day reporting starts from the day you re-entered Thailand, provided you have a re-entry permit.
• Renewing your retirement visa has nothing to do with the 90 day reporting, you are still required to do your 90 day report as scheduled.
