Answer summary
A UK citizen on a marriage visa in Thailand, who has been in the country for 8 months, is considering traveling to the UK for 3 months. They are seeking guidance on whether they can do so without jeopardizing their marriage visa status. The community advises that obtaining a re-entry permit is essential to maintain their existing extension of stay in Thailand. It is crucial to return before the current visa extension expires, and they should also ensure their spouse has the necessary visa to enter the UK.

If you've been here for 8 months... and going away for 3..... that's 11 months.
If you come back before 12 months get a Single Entry Prtmit. If it's longer than 12 months... Yes.. looks like a start again. Check with your Immigration office anyway..

Just buy a re-entry permit to keep your existing extension of stay alive, you'll need to return before your current stay expires or you'll have to start the visa/extention process over again

OPSteve Greir my fist year is August, so if I stay till after August I buy a re-entry visa that will be ok, how much is a re-entry visa

Joni1828 if I understand you correctly, you have paermition to stay, until august 2026, and then have to renew it for another 12 month.
You can ask for your next extension about 1 month before your current extension run out. (Your next 12 month, will start at the end of your current, so you do not loose any, by a playing early) When you get your new extension, you can ask for a Re entry permit at the same time and can then go out of the country any time you like, and come back when you like. (As long as you are back in Thailand august 2027, for your 2027 extention.

Joni1828 You need to return before your existing stamp expires. Re entry permits(not a visa) are 1000bt from your local Immigration Office

If you are on a 12 month extension of stay (not a visa) you will need to buy a re-entry permit and return in time to apply for your next extension
