Hiya all. I will be travelling outside of Thailand for 3 + months and hold an O non immigrant visa which expires on May 24 2025. I have done this before without a problem but I heard from some source that I need a re entry stamp from immigration prior to my departure. I leave December 13 abd will be back late March. Thoughts anyone?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual traveling outside Thailand on a Non-O visa is uncertain about needing a re-entry permit. Comments clarify that a re-entry permit is necessary to maintain the visa status during their absence, especially if they have a retirement stamp or a 12-month extension of stay. It is emphasized that securing the re-entry permit at immigration before departure is crucial to avoid visa complications.
