TLDR : Answer Summary

If you hold a Non OA multi-entry visa and plan to return to Thailand after a 10-month stay, you can effectively receive another 1-year stamp upon your return, provided you have the necessary health insurance coverage. According to the responses, every re-entry during the validity of your visa grants you a new stamp for a year or the duration of your insurance, whichever is shorter. Additionally, during your second year, you may be able to extend your visa within Thailand, contingent on maintaining required funds in a Thai bank and having appropriate health insurance.

Every time you enter Thailand during the validity of that visa you get stamped in for 12 months or the period your insurance is valid for, whichever comes first

With an OA which is multi-entry, if you have insurance to cover it, you would be given another 1 year stamp.

Effectively the 1yr OA can be stretched to almost 2 years with strategic exits/entries.

However the 2nd year is not multientry.

During the second year you can extend in country to yearly extensions.

However you will require the funds in a Thai bank AND always required the mandatory approved health insurance.

Where we approved on all necessary requirement so if I’m entering back to Thailand, I still can use this information what we had before or we have to make change because I’m applying inside Thailand

Your return will be on the original 1 year visa as it will not have expired you then apply for the extension
