I apologise if this is another old chestnut but I have 2 basic questions as I have a 12 month multi entry Non O visa issued in UK expires 4th July.

1. Do I need to renew this in the UK, if not any suggestions for best country close by to do it ?

2. How long before can I renew it if I can in nearby country as my next 90 days is due on 3rd June (yes bad timing by me)

Many thanks for advice offered/given 🙏

Just want to make sure,

@Jeff ******

, you have a Multiple Entry Non-O visa based on being married to a Thai national, right? Or happened to have it for any other reason?

@Jeff ******

so the reason for the visa is for retirement/pensioner or something else?

In that case, I'm afraid you need to apply for a new visa in UK after you manage to get the very last 90 days.

How multiple entry visa works is as

explained. But it depends on the reason where you can apply for at a new one.

's comment based on your situation

then bounce out and back before this current stamp runs out in June and get that final 90 day entry on it (if as you say the visa is good until July)

you get an automatic 90 day entry stamp using that visa every time you enter,

That will give you three months before you actually have to go buy another visa

you can't "renew" a visa, it runs out when it runs out.

That visa is valid for unlimited entries for 90 days during the year it's good for.

SO if you have a 90 day entry stamp running out on June 3, you need to exit/re-enter on or before that date and you'll get another 90 day entry stamp

okay if you have a year long multi-entry Non-O visa you got from the UK before you came here it means you bounce out and back every 90 days RIGHT? if your current entry stamp expires on Jun 3 and your VISA expires on July 4 just bounce out and back by June 3 and get a new 90 day stamp
