Can I deactivate my Non-O visa on the day it expires at Phu Nam Ron border?

Non-O Visa Visa Renewal Kanchanaburi Border

Nov 29, 2019

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey all.  US passport. Non-O multiple visa based on marriage.  My initial entry stamp is expiring on December 1st, planning on going to activate my 2nd entry at the Kanchanaburi Phu Nam Ron border. Debating between going tomorrow (30th) or Sunday (1st), poked around posts on this topic and just wanted some clarification/reassurance on a couple things.

I'm fine to go on the date of expiry on the stamp in my passport, right?  I've gone the day-of for extensions on other types of visas in the past...but I'm new to this visa  and would hate to show up there on the day-of expiry and get blindsided with some info I'm not aware of.

I've read that ANYONE on a non-imm visa can be asked to show 20k when re-entering, so I'll have that just to be safe, but I've never seen anyone post about actually being asked while on this specific type of Visa...anyone been asked that when border bouncing to activate a new entry?

As far as I can gather, I don't need anything but my passport, no documents related to the marriage or anything...fairly sure this is correct, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

TIA guys.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A US passport holder on a Non-O multiple entry visa based on marriage is considering visiting the Phu Nam Ron border to activate their second entry before the initial stamp expires on December 1st. Questions include whether it's acceptable to go on the expiration date and if any proof of funds or marriage documentation is required. Comments from the community confirm that only the passport is needed, with no proof of funds necessary, and highlight the option to go before the last day for safety.

Wait! Don't you have to ensure you enter BEFORE the expiry on the visa sticker not the stamp?

Just your passport and 960 Thb for transfer over the border and day pass for Myanmar. You can go the last day, some will say a day before is better just in case something goes not as planned.

you won't be asked anything at Phu Nam Ron bouncing out and back in Burma. no proof of funds, no onward travel no nothing

You need NO documentation other than your passport.

it's 960baht to get driven across no mans land stamped in and out of burma and driven back so you can stamp back into thailand to get a new 90 day entry stamp.

While you certainly CAN go the last day, I'd say why cut it so close?

That's generally my thinking, why take the chance. No real reason other than I'm under the weather and done love the idea of making the trip with a splitting headache. Thanks for the reassurance, Tod. Succinct as always.
