Can I Extend My Non-O Visa After Re-Entry Permit Expires in Thailand?

I’m planning to be back in Thailand in the next few days after my trip offshore, probably 18th. I have a re-entry permit which expires on the 20th January.

My question is if I enter using this I would only get the 2 days but could I then extend this at immigration on the Monday the 20th and get the 60 days extension?

My re-entry is a non - o single based on my child.

But also I was in Thailand last month using my 2nd Uk passport as my passport with re-entry was in Indian embassy... just wondering if that re-entry became void or what??

Or it easier just entering on a visa exempt??

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on whether they can extend their Non-O visa after using a re-entry permit that expires shortly after their return to Thailand. They are considering entering with a visa exempt status and are unsure about the status of their re-entry permit due to recent travel using a different passport. One commenter suggests entering with a visa exempt status and extending later if needed.

how long do you plan to stay? the free 30 day Visa Exempt Entry and if stay longer pay 1.900 Thb for a 60 day Extension or use the two days and apply for 1.900 Thb for the 60 day Extension.

Im not sure how long my stay will be, it all depends on my work.

The reason I was wanting to enter using the re-entry was so I was at least entering on some kind of visa at least.

Or do you think it wouldn’t be a issue just to enter on the visa exempt option again?...as it shows up on the system I’m visiting my child anyway.

What u reckon??
