TLDR : Answer Summary
If you are on an O visa and plan to leave Thailand, it is essential to obtain a re-entry permit from immigration before your departure. Without this permit, your current visa status may be cancelled, requiring you to reapply for a visa and extension upon your return. Given that you have an extension and need to comply with 90-day reporting, securing this permit is crucial to maintaining your legal status while traveling.

If you are going to leave and come back, Correct (y)

Than you need a re-entry permit before leaving the Kingdom to keep your current stay alive. If you leave without the re-entry permit you need to start all over again with application of Visa and Extension of Stay.

That's what I understood Todd, I'll have to do a 90 day report at immigration 89 days after I re-enter Thailand.

@Mike *******
, then IF you buy a re-entry permit before you leave to go to burma, when you come back into thailand you'd be stamped in until that date again.

AND

Your next 90 day report would be due 89 days from the date you returned.

You do 90 day reporting when you have been in the country 90 days.

IF you leave the country and come back your NEW 90 day report date would be 89 days from the date you entered thailand.

That has nothing to do with your current extension of stay.

, oaky, now you're confusing two completely separate things. When you are scheduled to do a 90 day report has nothing to do with how long your current extension lasts for. :/

What is your permission to stay until date on your extension from the immigration office?

Again, to be clear, when I return from Myanmar, Thai immigration will stamp me in at the date that my current 90 day report is? So I won't have to report at the 90 day time?

, it will allow you to come-n-go an unlimited amount of times and every time you come back into thailand you will be stamped in for the date your current extension expires.

So, to be clear, I have to go to immigration here in Phuket and pay them 3,800 baht for a multiple entry stamp, and that will allow me to come and go an unlimited amount times during the year, is that right?

Then you DON'T have ANY visa, you have a yearly extension, and if you don't want it to cancel when you stamp out of the country you need to buy a re-entry permit. They are 1000baht for a single re-entry and 3800baht for a multiple re-entry

Do you have a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa that you got from a thai consulate in another country (where you leave every 90 days)?

OR

Do you have a yearly extension of stay that you got from the immigration office for 1900baht where you do 90 day reporting?
