My wife’s non OA will expire at the end of the month (31 Oct). She’s not going to extend it and would change to apply for the non O. She’s now not in Thailand.
The question is: can she return before 31 Oct and tell the immigration officer that she’s not going to extend her non OA and ask the IO to stamp her in on visa exemption (her nationality entitles her to enter on visa exemption)? Or she must wait till after 31 Oct then return? Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is asking if their wife can return to Thailand before her non OA visa expires on October 31, and if she can request to enter on visa exemption instead of extending her current visa. Comments advise waiting until after the expiration date to re-enter and highlight the importance of having a valid re-entry permit.
