Can I leave Thailand on a non-O visa after transferring 800k baht and return for a one-year extension?

very enlightening - no to what? There are 2 questions he says. But there are actually 3.

No!

First of all, there's no such thing as an exit visa. There's a re-entry permit, which you would need to purchase if you don't want your permission to stay stamp in your passport to become invalid when you leave Thailand.

A re-entry permit does not give you any extra time. When you leave, the date on your permission to stay stamp remains the same, and you would need to be back before it expires in order to apply for an extension.

So if you arrive in February with a 90-day non-O visa, your entry stamp will give you permission to stay until May. If you leave between February and May with a re-entry permit, you would still need to be back by May to apply for your extension or your stamp will expire.

You can either apply for another non-O when you're on your trip, and then wait 45-60 days after arriving again in June to apply for the 1-year extension. Or you can arrive the second time as a tourist using visa exempt, and then apply to convert to non-O visa at your immigration office since you'll already have a funded bank account.

No because the initial Non-O is just 90 days so you'll need a new Non-O for June, get that extended and purchase a multi-entry re-entry permit for 3800B
