Hello all,

I am on a O-A (multi) visa currently (my first year)

My first 90 day report time is getting closer but I will leave the kingdom for a few weeks before it's due.

As it's my first trip vith this type of visa, I don't want to make any mistakes.

Am I right that;

1- I don't need to buy a re entry permit for the first year of this visa?

2- My second 90 day report period will start the day I make my re-entry to kingdom again.

Thank you for your replys..
Answer summary
The user inquired about the re-entry permit and the 90-day reporting requirements while holding an O-A visa. Responses clarified that a re-entry permit is not required for the first year of the O-A visa if it remains valid and insurance is in place. Additionally, the second 90-day reporting period begins on re-entry to Thailand, but the user was advised that upon re-entry, it would actually count as their first 90-day report after returning.

just so you understand, you will NOT do a 90 day report this time because you aren't staying here 90 days

that means this statement isn't correct :)

when you come back it will be your FIRST 90 day report, and every time you come back into the country it's the "first" report because the 90 day count down resets when you stamp in

Q.1- I don't need to buy a re entry permit for the first year of this visa?

-> If Non-OA itself is still valid and you have a valid insurance policy valid when you enter Thailand again, you don't need a re-entry permit. You will be stamped in for a shorter period of 365 days or the validity of the insurance policy.

Better bring a copy of the insurance policy in hand when you enter Thailand again, just in case.

2- My second 90 day report period will start the day I make my re-entry to kingdom again.

-> That's correct. Your 90-day count starts when you arrive in Thailand again; the arrival day is day 1.
