Can I extend my O-A visa by leaving and re-entering Thailand before it expires?

@Ja***

, well right now the important thing is; If you're going to leave/come back and want that entry stamp until July 2020 to be valid you'd need a re-entry permit.

I would say wring all the time out of this entry stamp that you can and then go to the thai consulate in Savannakhet and get either a 90 day single entry Non-O visa (and then meet the financial requirements to get a yearly extension at your immigration office) OR get a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa and bounce out and back in every 90 days for the year.

Something went wrong when you got that visa issued :/

@Mikkel ******

caught it. That visa was issued as a 90 day O-A visa NOT a year long one. :O

You can't exit/re-enter and get ANY more time off that visa, you're stuck with the entry stamp you got.

That VISA expired on the 17th Oct 2019 <- meaning it expired almost two weeks ago :O )

Yo will NOT get stamped back in for another year. In fact IF you don't buy a re-entry permit BEFORE you leave thailand that entry stamp you got (the actual stamp that lets you STAY in thailand) will cancel when you stamp out.

Well spotted

@Mik***

(y)

But why did they issue a non o-a for only three months is a good question

Again..my apology...but you continue to ask again...And again...

We do not have your answer ....we are patiently waiting for CONFIRMED REPORTS of those reentering on the O-A visa. Anything else is pure GUESS.

Commenting is closed. Thank you.

I believe you would be stamped in until the date your insurance coverage ends. If you want to be stamped in for a full year you would have to synchronize your insurance coverage to start near the end of your current visa.

To get that second year you have to exit and reenter before the actual visa is expired.

No they wont because your visa is already expired at 19th october this year and you won't get anymore stamps out of it. You can keep your current stamp alive with reentry permits, but you will not get any longer stay than you already have on it now.

Today I re- enter Thailand with my non OA visa issued /19 and my passeport was stamped until /2020 with no questions but it is the first year of my visa, for the second year I think it’s not clear ...

No one know
