Hello everyone! Advice needed!

My NON-IMM B visa expires on the 11th of September, while my airport stamp expires on the 30th of August. Can I do a border run and still get 90 days even if the visa expires in September?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual can perform a border run with a NON-IMM B visa expiring on September 11, provided they enter Thailand before the visa's valid until date. They must leave before their current stamp's expiration on August 30 to receive a new entry stamp for 90 days. Alternatively, they could consider applying for a one-year Extension of Stay at the Immigration Office before their stamp expiration.

With crazy thinking you could go the other way by visiting the Immigration Office, get the hand out with requirements and apply before 30 Aug for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on employment.

a few copies and application fee are cheaper than doing a border run.

As you have a multiple entry Non-B visa, you will be stamped for the whole 90 days as long as you enter on or before the "valid until" date (11 Sep). For new entry stamp period wouldn't be affected by visa validity.

You have to leave on or before 30 Aug though as your current admitted-to-stay stamp is until then.
