Hi- I'm a US citizen living in Bangkok. I saw from a recent thread that if I'm on a 30-day visa exempt stamp with enough time left (15 days or more) I can apply for a 90-day Non-O Visa based on marriage in-country at CW given the updated list of required documents (including proof of funds, etc).

My questions are: If I need to leave Thailand during my initial 90-days on this "no entry" Non-O visa can I leave and re-enter on a re-entry permit or will that invalidate my visa?

And, if I also need to travel outside the country during the 30 day consideration period for the 1-year extension?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A US citizen in Bangkok can leave Thailand on a 90-day Non-O visa using a re-entry permit without invalidating the visa. However, during the consideration period for a 1-year extension, traveling is possible with a re-entry permit, but it's advisable to consult the local immigration office beforehand to avoid potential issues.

During initial 90days Non-O single, no problem to travel if you have re-entry permit.

During consideration period for one year extension, technically you can travel with re-entry permit, but you had better talk with your local immigration office in advance. There might be home visiting and if you are not reachable on that, you will be in trouble.
