Morning all. Odd question here. I having been coming and going to Thailand for many years using my non immigrant O (married with kids in Thailand). My most recent visa has expired and I was going to renew it in the coming weeks as I wasn't due to travel back to Thailand until july ( I'm currently in Australia). My work situation here in oz has changed and now I can go to Thailand asap. Instead of waiting the week or so to get my new visa can I enter on another passport ( I'm dual citizen)?  Just as a tourist as I will only be staying a few weeks.  Or is that sketchy. 

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring whether they can enter Thailand on their second passport while their non-immigrant O visa is expired, as they plan a short visit. The consensus from comments indicates that as long as the second passport allows for visa-exempt entry, they can enter Thailand without issues, even using the expired visa passport.

No issues entering on EITHER passport, you said your have an EXPIRED visa in the one, just show up on it and get stamped in on a 30 day visa exempt without any issue

no need to switch passports just because you have an expired visa/extension in the one

unless it's a nationality that can't get stamped in free for 30 days you're fine on it
