Can you enter Thailand with less than 30 days remaining on a visa?
Has anyone entered Thailand with less than 30 days remaining on their visa?
I.e you have a nongb, non-o or even 2 month tourist visa that you got a reentry permit on and you return before it expires but close to its expiration date.

Answer summary
Yes, it is possible to enter Thailand with less than 30 days remaining on your visa. If you have a non-immigrant visa (such as NON-O) or a tourist visa, you can still re-enter Thailand as long as you obtain a re-entry permit before leaving and comply with the entry requirements. Upon returning, you will be stamped in for the remainder of the duration permitted by your visa, regardless of how many days are left.

Get a re-entry permit before you leave, meet the entry requirements, get back before your stamp expires and you should get stamped in for as long as the stamp was good for
The only thing no one has seen is someone re-entering on a 60 day covid extension.

I'm going to try that with my CoViD19 extension stamp expires 22nd Dec, then again no difference to me, if visa exempt is available again on 1st Nov. Benjamin ******

Before trying to enter on a Re-entry Permit based on a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, confirm the Thai consulate will issue the CoE. Without a CoE, you can't return.

exactly, that extension is given on a unable to travel basis. Seems weird to use it as a regular extension and even ask for a re-entry permit. I'm really curious how this will unfold!!Tod *********
Report back on whether they even will sell you a reentry permit on a covid extension okay?
@Alex ******
and then if you can get back in on it after you leave. 🙂 Tod *********
@Alex ******
the visa exempt has been available for the countries that qualify for it for months and months now.

You will be stamped in for the remainder of your permission of stay, be that 1 day or 100.
