ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a non O multiple entry visa that will expire 25 may 2017. I will make a border bounce on that day so i can extend my stay in Thailand for 3 months more. 

The question is .... Can I leave Thailand in those 3 months, come back after a week or so and fall back on that last stamp ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the possibility of leaving Thailand during the last 3 months of their NON-O multiple entry visa, and whether they can return after a brief absence using the same stamp. The discussion highlights the need for a re-entry permit for travel during the last 90 days of the visa. It is confirmed that while it's possible to travel in and out of Thailand on a multiple entry visa, utilizing a re-entry permit is necessary to return without losing their visa status.

U really need that in your last 90 days of your 15 months? If you're leaving Thailand

He'd need a re-entry permit when he's on his last 90 day admitted until stamp because that stamp is valid AFTER the visa itself expires. <-The 'multi-entry" part of that visa is only valud until the "enter before" date. So if he border-bounced and pulled a 90 day admitted until stamp right before the "enter before" date of that visa AND he wanted to leave/re-enter the country he'd need a re-entry permit or the stamp would cancel on exiting the country.

How would u go about getting a re entry permit? And, is that if u want to travel in those final 3 months (last 3 months of the 15)

You'd border-bounce <- stamp out of thailand, stamp in&out of another country, then stamp back into thailand to get the last 90 days, THEN you would go to the immigration office and buy either a single or a multiple re-entry permit for either 1000bath or 3800baht. You could also buy a re-entry permit at the airport when you're flying out internationally too

With a Multiple Entry Visa -- you can go out and back in as often as you can afford the travel - That is what the M stands for... But -- when you exit and reenter just before the 1 year expiry date -- that is the last 90 days you can get ... then within those last 90 days ... you have to buy a reentry permit to go out and back in
