I'm on a extension of my multi non O due to marriage with a Thai national, it's due for renewal August but I can't do an extension this next time ( funds not available this time) and plan to go to Ho Chi Min or Savanakhet for a multi O based on marriage. Can I go anytime before my present extension reaches its end date or do I have to wait until 30 days before the end. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently on a marriage-based extension of their Non-O visa, set for renewal in August. Since they cannot extend due to financial constraints, they are considering traveling to Ho Chi Minh or Savanakhet to apply for a new multi-entry Non-O visa. They seek clarification on whether they can leave Thailand to obtain the visa anytime before their current extension expires or if they need to wait until 30 days before the expiration. Responses suggest that leaving the country to obtain a visa does not affect the current extension, but exiting Thailand without a re-entry permit will lead to the cancellation of the extension.

The moment you leave Thailand without a re-entry permit your Extension of Stay will cancelled with the exit stamp.
